(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF SHELLED EGGS.
On December 15, 1910, the United States Attorney for the District?
of Indiana, acting upon a report of the Secretary of Agriculture,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a?
libel praying condemnation and forfeiture of 10 cases of shelled?
eggs, in the possession of M. Aronson, at Gary, Ind. The cases con??
taining said product were labeled: "Ad. Newman & Son?Commission?
Merchant?Butter, Eggs, Cheese, Poultry and Veal?853 Randolph?
St., Chicago, 111."
Examination of a sample of said product by the Bureau of Chem??
istry, United States Department of Agriculture, showed that 62.5?
per cent were spot eggs, and 37.5 per cent fair eggs and passable.?
The libel alleged that the product, after transportation from the?
State of Illinois into the State of Indiana, remained in the original?
unbroken packages, and was adulterated in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, because it consisted in whole or in part?
of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance, and was there??
fore liable to seizure for confiscation.
On March 8, 1911, said cause coming on to be heard, and no one?
having appeared as claimant, the court found the said product to be?
adulterated as alleged in the libel, and that the United States was?
entitled to a decree of condemnation. Accordingly a decree was en??
tered on that day, condemning and forfeiting the goods to the United?
States and ordering their destruction by the marshal.
