" 16496.  Adulteration of canned shrimp.     U. S. v. 10 Cases of Canned Shrimp. 
Default    decree    of    condemnation,    forfeiture,    and    destruction.
(F. & D. No. 22816.    I. S. No. 11976-x.    S. No. 856.)
On June 11, 1928, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
?Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 10 cases of canned shrimp at Youngstown, Ohio, alleging that 
the article had been shipped by the James Teteak Co., Chicago, Ill., on or about 
March 24, 1927, and transported from the State of Illinois into the State of 
Ohio, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.    The 
-article was labeled, in part: (Can) " Standard Shrimp, Marine Products Incor- 
porated, New Orleans, La., Distributors."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On September 10, 1928, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
