This case involved shipments of canned salmon that was in-part decomposed.
On March 9, 1936, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 302 cartons, each 
containing 48 unlabeled cans of salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 28 and 
August 10, 1935, by the Premier Salmon Ca, from Stevens Greek, Alaska, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On March 16, 1936, the Premier Salmon Co., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel and consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be released 
under bond conditioned that it should not be disposed of in violation of the law.
W. B. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
