segregation and destruction of decomposed portion. (F. & D. no. 36471. 
Sample no. 30578-B.)
This case involved frozen whole eggs which were in part decomposed.
On October 14, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 221 cans of frozen whole 
eggs at Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about September 9, 1935, by W. W. Butler, Inc., from 
Dallas, Tex., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On November 18, 1935, W. W. Butler, Inc., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations in the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judg- 
ment 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.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
