27025. Adulteration of frozen eggs.     XT. S. v. 260 Cans of Frozen Eggs.     Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 39056.    Sample no. 
8852-C.)
This product was represented to be frozen whole eg"gas. Examination showed 
that it consisted of a mixture of egg white and whole eggs and that it was 
decomposed and putrid.
On February 5, 1937, 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 260 cans of frozen 
eggs at New York, N. Y., alleging that they had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about October 16, 1936, by the Producers' Produce Co., Inc., 
from Springfield, Mo., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of egg white and 
whole eggs had been substituted wholly or in part for whole eggs, which it 
purported to be, and in that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed 
or putrid animal substance.
On February 25, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GKECG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
