11377.?Adulteration and  misbranding of frozen  eggs.     TJ.  S. v.  10  Cans  of
Frozen Eggs.    Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and de??
struction.     (F. & D. No   17185.     I. S. No. 260-v.     S. No. B-4286.)
On January 19, 1923, the United States attorney for the Southern District?
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure?
and condemnation of 10 cans of frozen eggs, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been?
shipped by Philip Anker, from Jersey City, N. J., on or about January 15, 1923,?
and transported from the State of New Jersey into the State of New York, and?
charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act,?
as amended.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was food in package?
form, and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously?
marked on the outside of the package.
On April 3, 1923, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that?
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
