ADULTERATION OF POWDERED EGG ALBUMEN.
On November 5, 1910, the United States Attorney for the Northern?
District of Illinois, acting upon a report of the Secretary of Agri??
culture, filed information in the District Court of the United States?
for said district against W. K. Jahn Co., a corporation, alleging ship??
ment by it, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about June?
17, 1910, from the State of Illinois into the State of Missouri of a?
quantity of powdered egg albumen which was adulterated. The?
product was invoiced as " Powdered Egg Albumen " and was labeled?
on the barrel " 331-37 ", and on the shipping tag attached to the?
barrel " The W. K. Jahn Co., 49 Franklin St., Chicago. The Dry?
Egg Co., 106 S. Main St., St. Louis, Mo."
Analysis of a sample of said product, made by the Bureau of Chem??
istry of the United States Department of Agriculture, showed it to?
contain boron compounds, as crystallized borax, 0.16 per cent; reac??
tion, alkaline. Adulteration was alleged in that said article contained?
an added poisonous and an added deleterious ingredient, to wit, boric?
acid, which rendered said article injurious to health.
On November 21, 1910, the defendant pleaded guilty and was fined
$25 and costs.
