NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 618, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF EVAPORATED EGGS.
On or about February 1 and 17, 1910, C. H. Weaver & Co., Chi??
cago, 111., shipped from the State of Illinois to the State of New York?
seven drums of evaporated eggs, containing 200 pounds each, in?
two shipments, the former consisting of six drums and the latter of?
one drum. Examination 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 of June 30, 1906. As it appeared from the findings of?
the analyst and report thereon that the 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 Northern?
District of New York.
In due course two libels were filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district against the said seven drums of evaporated?
eggs, charging the above shipments and alleging that the product?
so shipped was adulterated, in that it contained filthy, decomposed,?
and putrid animal and vegetable substance, rendering the same unfit?
for human food, and praying seizure and condemnation of the product.
On July 12, 1910, the above cases came on for hearing, and there?
being no appearance by any claimant to the product, the court,?
being fully informed in the premises, issued its decree, finding said?
product to be adulterated as alleged in said libels, condemning same,?
and ordering its destruction by the marshal of said district, which?
order was forthwith executed.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
