3584. Adulteration of frozen egg product. U. S. v. 80 Cans of Frozen Egg Product. Default?
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 5634. I. S. No. 2658-h.?
8. No. C-ll.)
On March 17, 1914, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan,?
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the?
United States for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 80 cans?
approximating 1,600 pounds of frozen egg product, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Detroit, Mich., alleging that the product had been shipped and?
transported from the State of Illinois into the State of Michigan, and charging adulter??
ation in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that it was shipped?
and consigned as eggs, whereas, in truth and in fact, it was a substance which consisted?
in whole and in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance, in viola??
tion of section 7 in case of foods, paragraph 6, of the Food and Drugs Act, in that said?
frozen egg product was a filthy and decomposed [egg product] animal substance, and?
was unfit and improper for use of foods [as food].
On August 3, 1914, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of con??
demnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product?
should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
