21138. Adulteration of canned salmon.   XT.  S.  v. 149  Cases of Canned  Sal¬
mon.   Default decree  of condemnation and  destruction.     (F. & D.
no. 29292.    Sample no. 21761-A.)
This case involved the interstate shipment of a quantity of canned salmon, 
samples of which were found to be decomposed.
On November 12, 1932, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 149 cases of canned 
salmon at Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
September 29, 1932, by Oceanic Sales Co., from Seattle, Wash., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On June 29, 1933, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and it was ordered by the court that the product be 
destroyed by the United States marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
