NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 1074.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF DESICCATED EGG PRODUCT.
In May, 1910, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon the report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel 
praying condemnation and forfeiture of two drums of desiccated egg 
product in the possession of the New Orleans Cold Storage & Ware- 
house Co. (Ltd.),' New Orleans, La.
Examination of sample of this product by the Bureau of Chem- 
istry, United States Department of Agriculture, showed it to contain 
an excessive number of bacteria, many of which were of the gas- 
producing type. The libel alleged that the eggs, after shipment by 
C. H. Weaver & Co., of Chicago, from the State of Illinois into the 
State of Louisiana, remained in the original unbroken packages and 
were adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 
1906, and were, therefore, liable to seizure for confiscation. Adultera- 
tion was alleged on the ground that the product consisted of a filthy, 
decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On January 16, 1911, no person appearing as claimant of said 
product, it was ordered, adjudged, and decreed by the court that said 
product be condemned and forfeited to the use of the United States 
for the cause set forth in the libel, and that it be destroyed by the 
marshal of said district.

Secretary of Agriculture.
