On October 19, 1914,tlie 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 165 cans?
approximating 5,280 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?
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that it was shipped?
in original unbroken packages and consigned as frozen eggs, whereas, in truth and in?
fact, said substance was a substance which consisted in whole and in part of a filthy,?
decomposed, and putrid animal substance, in violation of section 7 in the case of?
food, paragraph 6, of the Food and Drugs Act.
On February 15, 1915, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the
product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
