"22174. Adulteration of canned salmon. TJ. S. -v. 99 Cases of Canned Sal- 
mon. Default decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product 
delivered to fish hatcheries to be used as fish food.     (F. & D. no.
29126.    Sample no. 11120-A.)
This action involved the interstate shipment of quantities of canned salmon 
which was found to be in part decomposed.
On October 26, 1932, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
¦district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 99 cases of canned 
salmon at Elmira, N.Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about September 16, 1932, by C. F. Buelow Co., Inc., from 
Seattle, Wash., to Elmira, N.Y., and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part:"" Spot Lite Brand 
Pink Salmon   *    *    *   C. F. Buelow Co. Incorporated, Seattle."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On March 1, 1934, the case having been called and all parties in interest 
having been declared in default, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was 
entered. On March 9, 1934, an amended decree was entered authorizing the 
delivery of the product to the United States Bureau of Fisheries to be used as 
fish food.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
