22772. Adulteration of  ess noodles.     V.   8. v.  18 Cases  and  5   Cases   of  Egg
Noodles. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and de- 
struction.    (F. & D. no. 32681.    Sample nos. 71094-A, 71095-A.)
This case involved a shipment of egg noodles which were artificially colored 
yellow.
On May 17,1934, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, acting 
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a 
libel praying seizure and condemnation of 23 cases of egg noodles at Portland, 
Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about March 23, 1934, by Tsue Chong, from Seattle, Wash., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. A portion of the article 
was labeled: (Package) "Real Chinese Made Rose Brand Fresh Egg Noodles." 
The remainder was labeled: (Case) "Fresh Egg Noodles * * * Rose 
Brand Genuine Chinese Noodles Made by Tsue Chong Co., * * * Seattle, 
Wash."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it was 
colored in a manner whereby inferiority was concealed.
On July 17, 1934, 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.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
