PRODUCT: 74 cases, each containing 48 7-ounce cans, of rockfish at Boston, 
Mass.
LABEL IN PART : "Blue Letter A Flaked Boneless Pacific Ocean Rockfish In Pure 
Salad Oil."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 403 (a), the label statement "In 
Pure Salad Oil" was false and misleading since the article was packed in brine 
containing a very small amount of oil; and, Section 403 (d), the container was 
so filled as to be misleading since the cans were not filled as full of fish as 
practicable.
DISPOSITION : On May 28.1947, the case was transferred to the Western District 
of Washington. On July 30, 1948, no claimant having appeared, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
