Mixed Eg-ars. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. 
Product released under bond. (F. & D. No. 25949. I. S. No. 16133. 
S. No.  4205.)
Samples of frozen mixed eggs from the shipment herein described having 
been found to be decomposed, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter 
to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia.
On February 26, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the Supreme Court 
of the District of Columbia, holding a District Court, a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 63 cans of frozen mixed eggs, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Washington, D. C, alleging that the article was being 
offered for sale in the District of Columbia by Morris Bressler (Morris Bressler 
& Co. (Inc.)), Washington, D. C, and charging adulteration in violation of the 
food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On or about March 27, 1931, M. Bressler & Co., Washington, D. C, 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 
ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon 
payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $400, conditioned 
that it should not be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary to law.
ABTHTJE M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
