22214. Adulteration of canned shrimp. U. S. -v. 817 Cases of Canned Shrimp. 
Consent decree of destruction. (F. & D. no. 31272. Sample no. 
41149-A.)
This case involved a shipment of canned shrimp which was found to be in 
part decomposed.
On October 25, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Minne- 
sota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 817 cases of canned shrimp 
at Minneapolis, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, on or about August 29, 1933, by the Dorgan McPhiUips Packing Cor- 
poration, from New Orleans, La., and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Gulf Kist Brand 
Shrimp   *    *    *   Packed by Dorgan McPhiUips Packing Corp. Mobile, Ala."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On April 23, 1934, the Dorgan McPhiUips Packing Corporation, the sole 
intervener, having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment was entered 
ordering that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
