This case was based on an interstate shipment of canned salmon that was 
found to be in part tainted or stale.
On May 9, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Standard Packing Co., a corporation, 
Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said company,- in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act, on or about August 13, 1932, from the Territory of Alaska into 
the State of Washington, of a quantity of canned salmon which was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
it consisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On May 15, 1934, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company, and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
