29112. Adulteration and misbranding of frozen egg yolks.     U. S. v. 35 Cans of
A—1 Yolks. Consent decree of condemnation. Product released under 
bond to be relabeled.    (F. & D. No. 42154.    Sample No. 8113-D.)
This product contained added egg white.
On April 9, 1988, 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 35 cans of egg yolks 
at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about December 1, 1937, from Detroit, Mich., by Frigid Food 
Products, Inc.; and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Frigid Food 
Products, Inc.    *    *    *   Detroit, Mich.   *    *    *   Yolks."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of egg yolks and egg 
white had been substituted wholly or in part for egg yolks, which it purported 
to be.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Yolks" was false 
and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead the purchaser when applied 
to an article that contained added egg white.
On May 28, 1938, Frigid Food Products, Inc., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be relabeled.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
