This case involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On February 18, 1937, 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 New England Fish Co., a 
corporation, having a place of business at Pillar Rock, Wash., alleging shipment 
by said company in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about February 
13, 15, 18, 20, 22, and July 18 and 19, 1935, from the State of Washington into 
the State of Oregon of quantities of canned salmon that was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On June 30, 1937, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $256 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
