16894. Adulteration and Misbranding of canned frozen  eggs.     TJ.  S. v. 255
Cans of Frozen Whole Egg's. Default decree of condemnation, 
forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 24176. I. S. No. 024277. 
S. No. 2417.)
On October 25, 1929, 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 of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 255 cans of frozen whole eggs, consigned August 5, 1929, 
remaining in the original unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by the Federal Cold Storage Co., from Piqua, 
Ohio, and transported from the State of Ohio into the State of New York, and 
charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act 
as amended.
It was alleged- in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it 
consisted in part of a decomposed animal substance, to wit, decomposed eggs.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was in package form 
and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on 
the outside of the package.
On November 12, 1929, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
ARTHUR M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
