feiture. Product released under bond. (F. & D. No. 26026. I. S. No.

Examination of the powdered egg yolk from the shipment herein described: 
having shown that the article contained added undeclared color, the Secretary 
of Agriculture reported the matter to the United States attorney for the 
District of Colorado.
On March 14, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the District Court of 
the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 6 cases of powdered egg yolk, remaining in the original unbroken; 
packages a,t Denver, Colo., consigned by the Bashaw-Arey Co., of San Francisco,. 
Calif., from Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about February 16, 1931, in interstate commerce from Kansas City, Mo., into- 
the State of Colorado, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation 
of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: " COB San 
Francisco Option Baltimore Boston New York Philada1 From China Net 200' 
lbs.   Contains 6^% added invert sugar."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it was 
colored in a manner whereby inferiority was concealed.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was offered for 
sale under the distinctive name of another article.
On May 25, 1931, the Pacific Orient Co., having appeared as claimant for the 
property and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of con- 
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that
the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of costs and the 
execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, conditioned in part that it be relabeled, 
and that it should not be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary to the laws 
of the United States or of the State of Colorado.
