20622. Adulteration of canned salmon.    IT. S. v. 109 Cases, et al., of Canned
Salmon.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. &
D. no. 29291.    Sample nos. 16178-A, 16179-A, 16180-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of three lots of canned salmon 
that was in part decomposed.
On November 11, 1932, the United States attorney for the District of 
Nebraska, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying 
seizure and condemnation of 327 cases of canned salmon at Omaha, Nebr., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 12, 1932, by the Oceanic Sales Co., from Seattle, Wash., to Omaha, 
Nebr., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. A 
portion of the article was unlabeled. The remainder was labeled: " Yellow- 
stone [or " Windmill"] Brand Red Alaska Sockeye Salmon."
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 4, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation was entered and was ordered by the court that the product 
be destroyed by the United States marshal.
R. G. TUGWELL, A acting Secretary of Agriculture.
