21935. Adulteration of whole eggs.    IT. S. v. 133 Cans of Whole Egg*.     Con-
dent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released 
under bond.    (F. & D. no. 31753.    Sample no. 64109-A.)
This case involved a shipment of whole eggs that were found to be partly 
decomposed.
On December 22, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 133 cans of whole
eggs at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about May 31, 1933, by Peter Fox Sons Co., from Dallas Tex., 
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 part of a decomposed animal substance.
On December 27, 1933, the Peter Fox Sons Co., Chicago, Ill., 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 claimant for segrega- 
tion and destruction of the decomposed portion, under the supervision of this 
Department, upon payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum 
of $500, conditioned in part that it should not be disposed of in violation of 
the Federal Food and Drugs Act.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
