19443. Adulteration of canned salmon. V. S. v. 100 Cases of Canned 
Salmon. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Prod- 
uct released under bond. (F. & D. No. 27592. I. S. Nos. 11591, 31331. 
S. No. 5622.)
Samples of salmon from the shipment herein described having been found to 
be tainted or stale, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter to the 
United States attorney for the Northern District of California.
On December 22, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the District Court 
of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 100 cases of canned salmon, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at San Francisco, Calif., consigned by McGovern & McGovern, Seattle, 
Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about September 17, 
1931, from Seattle, Wash., and had been transported in interstate commerce 
from the State of Washington into the State of California, and charging adul- 
teration in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On January 29, 1932, Wrangel Packing Corporation, claimant, having ad- 
mitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of 
costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $500, conditioned in part that 
it be made to conform to the provisions of the Federal food and drugs act, under 
the supervision of this department, and that it should not be sold or disposed of 
contrary to the provisions of said law, or the laws of any State, Territory, 
district, or insular possession.
