On February 18, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of seventy-nine 
10-pound blocks of shrimp at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had 
been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 20, 1937, by Union Fish 
Co. from Baltimore, Md., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a decomposed animal substance.
On March 28, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
