ADULTERATION OF FROZEN EGGS.
On or about February 9, 1910, the Ford & Howard Co., Chicago,?
111., shipped from the State of Illinois into the State of Massa??
chusetts 34 cans of frozen eggs. Samples from this shipment were?
procured and examined bacteriologically by the Bureau of Chemistry.?
United States Department of Agriculture, and the product was found?
to consist of filthy, putrid, and decomposed eggs. As the findings?
of the analyst and report thereon indicated that the product was?
adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act of?
June 30, 1906, and was liable to seizure under section 10 of the act,?
the Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to the United States?
attorney for the District of Massachusetts.
On February 7, 1911, a libel was filed in the District Court of the?
United States for said district against the said 34 cans of frozen?
eggs charging the above shipment, alleging that the product so?
shipped was adulterated in that it consisted in part of filthy, decom??
posed, and putrid animal or vegetable substance, and praying seizure,?
condemnation, and forfeiture of the product.
On March 23, 1911, the cause came on for hearing, and no claimant?
to the product having appeared or answer to the allegations of the?
above libel having been filed, the court, being fully informed in the?
premises, issued its decree condemning and forfeiting the product to?
the use of the United States for the cause alleged in said libel, and?
ordering the destruction thereof by the marshal of said district.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
