26604. Adulteration of canned salmon.    U. S. v. 604 Cases, et al., of Salmon.
Consolidated consent decree of condemnation. Product ordered released 
under bond. (F. & D. nos. 38254, 38267, 38275. Sample nos. 10901-C, 
10902-C, 10906-C, 10909-C, 10910-C.)
These cases involved canned salmon that was in part decomposed.
On September 3, 1936, and September 10, 1936, the United States attorney 
for the Western District of Washington, acting upon reports by the Secretary 
of Agriculture, filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemna- 
tion of 4,361 cases of pink salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the product 
was shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 8, 1936, by the Alaska 
Red Salmon Packers Co., from Carmel, 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 September 9, 1936, the Alaska Red Salmon Packers, Inc., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered 
and it was ordered that the product be released under bond subject to 
compliance with the provisions of the Food and Drugs Act.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
