2208. Adulteration and misbranding of canned salmon.    U.  S. v.  59 Cases of
Canned • Salmon.    Default   decree   of   condemnation   and   destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 3763.    Sample No. 35699-E.)
This product was found to be in part decomposed. It was also falsely labeled 
as to the name of the packer.
On February 5, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Mississippi filed a libel against 59 cases of canned salmon at Columbus, Miss., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
October 4, 1940, by the E. H. Hamlin Co. from Seattle, Wash.; and charging 
that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Cans) "Cri- 
terion Brand Pink Alaska Salmon   *    *    *    Packed by Kadiak Fisheries Co.,
Kadiak and Shearwater Alaska"; or   (cases)   "Packed by Kadiak Fisheries
Company, Seattle U. S. A." 
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in
part of a .filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance. 
It was alleged to be misbranded in that its labeling was false and misleading. 
On April 24, 1$41, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
