NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 272, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF DESICCATED EGG.
On or about January 8, 1910, the Monarch Desiccated Egg Com??
pany, Chicago, 111., shipped from the State of Illinois to the State of?
New York eight hundred pounds of desiccated egg product. Analy??
sis of samples of this product, made in the Bureau of Chemistry,?
United States Department of Agriculture, showed it to be adulterated?
within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30, 1906. As it?
appeared from the findings of the analyst and report made that the?
shipment was liable to seizure under section 10 of the act, the Secre??
tary of Agriculture reported the facts to the United States attorney?
for the Southern District of New York. In due course a libel was?
filed against the said eight hundred pounds of desiccated egg product,?
charging adulteration of the product within the meaning of the act,?
because it was in a filthy, decomposed, and putrid condition and unfit?
for human consumption, and praying seizure, condemnation and?
forfeiture.
On March 16, 1910, the case coming on for final hearing, and there?
being no claimant of record, the court rendered its decree, in substance?
and in form as follows:

District of New York, held at the United States Court Rooms, in the City of New?
York, in the said District, on the 16th day of March, in the year of our Lord one?
thousand nine hundred and ten.
