On January 27, 1926, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 38 cases of canned shrimp, at Toledo, Ohio, alleging that the 
article had been shipped by the Houma Packing Co., Houma, La., on or about 
August 18, 1925, and transported from the State of Louisiana into the State of 
Ohio, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The 
article was labeled in part: (Can) "Chef Fancy Shrimp Wet Pack."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed or putrid animal substance.
On April 27, 1926, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
W. M. JABDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
