Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 96 cases of canned shrimp 
at Cincinnati, Ohio, consigned August 25, 1934, alleging that the article had 
been shipped in interstate commerce by the Dorgan-McPhillips Packing Corp., 
from Biloxi, Miss., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) " White Villa Fancy Shrimp 
* * * White Villa Grocers Co., Inc., [or " The Cincinnati Wholesale Gro- 
cery Co."] Distributors Cincinnati, Ohio, Dayton, Ohio."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On November 27, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
