ADULTERATION OF DESICCATED EGGS.
On or about August 3, 1910, the Country Club Egg Company,?
Galena, Mo., shipped from the State of Missouri to the State of New?
York 5 barrels of desiccated eggs. Examination of samples of this?
product made by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Depart??
ment of Agriculture, showed that it was adulterated within the?
meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906. As the find??
ings of the analyst and report thereon showed that the shipment was?
liable to seizure under section 10 of the act, the Secretary of Agri??
culture reported the facts to the United States Attorney for the?
Southern District of New York.
In due course a libel was filed in the District Court of the United?
States for said district against the said 5 barrels of desiccated eggs,?
charging the above shipment, alleging that the product so shipped?
was adulterated, in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy,?
putrid, and decomposed animal substance, and praying seizure and?
condemnation of the product.
On September 15, 1910, the cause came on for hearing and no?
appearance having been filed by any claimant to the product or?
answer having been filed to said libel, the court being fully informed?
in the premises, issued its decree condemning and forfeiting said?
product to the United States and ordering its destruction by the mar??
shal 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.
