NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 614, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF DESICCATED EGGS.
On or about October 27, 1909, Wood & Selick, New York, N. Y.,?
shipped from the State of New York to the State of Pennsylvania?
two barrels of desiccated egg product. Examination of samples of?
this'product made by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Depart??
ment 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 thereon that the said shipment?
was 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 Pennsylvania.
In due course a libel was filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district against the said two barrels of desiccated egg?
product, charging the above shipment and alleging that the product?
so shipped was adulterated, in that it consisted in whole or in part?
of a decomposed and putrid animal substance and contained an?
excessive number of bacterial organisms and a large number of?
streptococci, the last indicating that it was composed of a filthy and?
contaminated material.
The case came on for hearing, and there being no appearance?
entered by any claimant to the product, the court being fully informed?
in the premises issued its decree finding the product adulterated as?
alleged in the above libel, and ordering its destruction, which order?
was forthwith executed 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.
