27181. Adulteration of  canned  shrimp.     U.  S. v.  50  Cases of Canned  Shrimp.
Default  decree  of  condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D.  no.  38999. 
Sample nos. 6697-C, 6698-C.)
This product was partially decomposed.
On January 25, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 50 cases of canned 
shrimp at New Orleans, La., alleging that on or about January 21, 1937, C. D. 
Hoy, New Orleans, La., delivered the product to a common carrier for export 
to Panama, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "Barataria Shrimp * * * Q. & S. Brand 
Packed Expressly for and guaranteed by Quong Sun Co. Inc., New Orleans, 
La."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
decomposed animal substance.
On May 14, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
