26870. Adulteration of egg meats and sugared egg yolks.    U. S. v. 10, 19, and
340 Cans of Egg Products. Default decrees of condemnation and 
destruction. (F. & D. nos. 38696, 38697, 38702. Sample nos. 3214-C, 
3215-C, 3216-C.)
These cases involved egg products that were decomposed.
On November 23, 1936, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of California, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 350 cans of egg 
meats and 19 cans of sugared egg yolks at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that 
the articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 25 and 
October 22, 1936, by the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative Association, from 
Salt Lake City, Utah, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The product designated as egg meats was labeled: "Milk White 
Products Egg Meats Packed and Distributed by Utah Poultry Producers Co- 
operative Assn. Salt Lake City, Utah."
The articles were alleged to be adulterated in that they consisted wholly or 
in part of decomposed animal substances.
On December 22, 1936, and January 12, 1937, no claimant having appeared, 
judgments of condemnation were entered and it was ordered that the products 
be destroyed.
W. R. GBBGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
