21265. Adulteration of canned salmon.     TJ.   S. v. 9 Cases  of Salmon.     De¬
fault decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 30511. 
Sample no. 29608-A.)
This case involved a shipment of canned salmon that was in part decom- 
posed.
On May 31, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Arizona, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of nine cases of canned salmon 
at Flagstaff, Ariz., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about February 17, 1933, by Libby, McNeill & Libby, from Oak- 
land, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: " Libby's Fancy Red Alaska 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 July 10, 1933, seven cases of the product having been seized and held in 
the custody of the United States marshal, judgment of condemnation was 
entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
