Dried Whole Eggs.    Consent decree of condemnation.    Product ordered 
, , released  under bond  for  relabeling.    (F.  D.   C.  No.   7765.    Sample  Nos.

This product was high in reducing sugars, indicating the addition of some 
saccharine substance.
On June 26, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New 
York filed a libel against a total of 159 barrels of dried whole eggs at Brooklyn, 
N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within 
the period from on or about April 15 to on or about May 2, 1942, by the Approved 
Dehydrating Co. from Passaic, N. J.; and charging that it was adulterated and 
misbranded.   The article was labeled in part: "Spray Dried Whole Egg."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance consisting essen- 
tially of reducing sugars had been substituted wholly or in part for "Spray Dried 
Whole Egg" which it purported to be, and had been mixed and packed therewith 
so as to reduce its quality or strength. 
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the designation "Spray Dried Whole 
Eggs" was false and misleading, and in that it purported to be and was repre- 
sented as a food for which a definition and standard of identity had been pre- 
scribed by regulation as provided by law, and it failed to conform to such definition 
and standard.
On July 21,1942, the Approved Dehydrating Co., Inc., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond for relabeling under the supervision of the Food 
and Drug Administration.
