This case involved a shipment of frozen eggs which were in part decomposed.
On September 9, 1935, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 144 cans of frozen 
eggs at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about July 1, 1935, by the Parsons Poultry & Egg Co., from 
Parsons, Kans., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
decomposed or putrid animal substance.
On October 11, 1935, Swift & Co., New York. N. Y., having admitted the 
allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment 
of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be released 
under bond conditioned that the decomposed portion be segregated and destroyed 
or denatured under the supervision of this Department.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
