11474.?Adulteration of canned salmon.    V. S. v. 15 Cases of Salmon.    De?
fault    decree    of    condemnation,    forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(F. & D. No. 15944.    I. S. Nos. 3365-t, 3366-t.    S. No. C-3410.)
On February 5, 1922, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure?
and condemnation of 15 cases of salmon, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at New Orleans, Da., alleging that the article had been?
shipped by the Seaboard Co., from Seattle, Wash., on or about November 16,?
1921, and transported from the State of Washington into the State of Louisiana,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article?
was labeled in part: " Kay-Square Brand * * * Select Pink Salmon * * *?
Kenai Packing Co. Seattle, Wash."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that it was composed in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or?
putrid animal substance.
On March 20, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
