13665. Adulteration   of   canned   salmon.     V.   S.   v.   1,136   Cases   of   Salmon.
Default decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product re- 
leased for fish food. (F. & D. No. 17283. I. S. No. 2611-r. S. No. 
W-289.)
On or about February 2, 1924, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Washington, 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 1,136 cases of salmon, remaining in the origi- 
nal unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been 
shipped by the Columbia Salmon Co., from Craig, Alaska, about August 8, 1918, 
and transported from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, 
and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article 
was labeled in part: (Can) "Table Pride Brand Alaska Pink Salmon Packed 
In Alaska By Lindenberger Packing Co. Seattle, Wash."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub- 
stance.
On April 28, 1924, 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 delivered to the State of Washington Fisheries Department 
to be used as fish food upon payment of the sum of $227.20.
E. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
