14098. Adulteration   of   shell   eggs.     V.   S.   v.   9   Cases   of   Eggs,     Consent
decree of condemnation and forfeiture.    Product released under 
bond.     (F. & D. No. 20748.    I. S. No. 348-x.    S. No. W-1830.)
On December 3, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
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 9 cases of eggs, remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Denver, Colo., consigned by the Alma Produce Co., Alma, Nebr., alleging 
that the article had been shipped from Alma, Nebr., on or about November 17, 
1925, and transported from the State of Nebraska into the State of Colorado; 
and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article 
was labeled in part:   (Tag) " From Alma Produce Company, Alma, Nebraska."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance, to wit, 
of decomposed and rotten eggs.
On December 17, 1925, the Alma Produce Co., Alma, Nebr., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a 
decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was or- 
dered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon pay- 
ment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of 
$150, conditioned in part that it not be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary 
to law.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
