Sample no. 13539-C.)
This product was in part decomposed.
On September 25, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 60 cases of canned 
shrimp at Dallas, Tex., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about September 14, 1936, by the Foreign Products Corporation from 
New OrlKans. La., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Doll Baby Brand Dry Packed 
Shrimp   *    *    *   L. C. Mays Co., Inc., Distributors, New Orleans, Louisiana."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On January 12, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
