19734. Adulteration and Misbranding of frozen eggs.    U. S. v. Frigid Food
Products   (Inc.).    Plea  of guilty.    Fine, $200.     (F.  & D.  No.  26677. 
I. S. No. 28330.)
This action was based on the interstate shipment of canned frozen eggs, 
samples of which were found to contain added undeclared sugar.
On October 6, 1931, 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 the district aforesaid, an information 
against the Frigid Food Products (Inc.), a corporation, Detroit, Mich., alleging 
shipment by said company in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about 
January 22, 1931, from the State of Michigan into the State of Pennsylvania of 
a quantity of frozen eggs that were adulterated and misbranded.   The article
was labeled in part: (Cans) " Frigid Food Products, Inc. * * * Frigidegs 
Frozen Strictly Fresh Gold Yolks   *    *    *   Eggs."
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
added sugar had been substituted in part for frozen eggs which the article 
purported to be.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statements, " Frigidegs, 
* * * Gold Yolks * * * Eggs * * * Frozen strictly Fresh," ap- 
pearing on the label, were false and misleading, and for the further reason 
that it was labeled as aforesaid so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser, 
since the article did not consist wholly of frozen eggs but did consist in part 
of added sugar. Misbranding was alleged for the further reason that the 
article was offered for sale and was sold under the distinctive name of 
another article, "Frigidegs."
On November 24, 1931, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on 
behalf of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $200.
