(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Pood and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF DRIED EGG ALBUMEN.
On July 13, 1910, the United States Attorney for the Eastern?
District of Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri??
culture, filed in the District Court for said district a libel praying?
condemnation and forfeiture of one barrel of dried egg albumen in?
the possession of the Dry Egg Co., of St. Louis, Mo. The product?
was labeled: "The W. K. Jahn Company, 49 Franklin St., Chicago,?
for the Dry Egg Company, 106 South Main Street, St. Louis, Mo."
Examination of a sample of said product made by the Bureau?
of Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture showed?
it to contain borate equivalent to 0.10 per cent boric acid. The?
libel alleged that the product, after transportation from the State?
of Illinois into the State of Missouri, remained in the original?
unbroken package, and was adulterated in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, because it contained an added poisonous?
or deleterious ingredient which rendered such article injurious to?
health, and was therefore liable to seizure for confiscation.
The cause coming on to be heard, and no one having appeared?
as claimant, the court found the product adulterated as alleged in?
the libel and condemned and forfeited it to the use of the United?
States, and ordered its destruction by the marshal.
