ADULTERATION  OF FROZEN EGG PRODUCT.
On or about May 9, 1910, R. Smithson, Chicago, 111., shipped from?
the State of Illinois to the State of New York 200 cans of frozen egg?
product, in two consignments of 100 cans each, each of the cans con??
taining 40 pounds of the product, and bearing the label: "40 pounds,?
put up by R. S. Chicago."
Examination of samples of this product made by the Bureau of?
Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, showed it to be?
adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30,?
1906. As it appeared from the findings of the analyst and report?
made that the said shipments were liable to seizure under section 10?
of the act, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to the?
United States attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
In due course libels were filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district against the said 200 cans of frozen egg product,?
charging the above shipments and alleging the product to be adulter??
ated, in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, and?
decomposed animal substance.
On June 29, 1910, the case came on for hearing, and no persons?
having interposed a claim to the product involved, the court, being?
fully informed in the premises, rendered a decree, finding the product?
to be adulterated as charged in the libels above set forth, confiscating?
the same to the United States, and ordering its destruction by the?
marshal of said district.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs
Act of June 30, 1906.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
