This product was in part decomposed.
On June 16, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 1,249 cans of frozen 
eggs at Oakland, Calif.; alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about May 25, 1938, by Fort Worth Poultry & Egg Co. 
from Fort Worth, Tex.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On July 21, 1938, Fort Worth Poultry & Egg Co., having appeared as claim- 
ant, judgment of condemnation was entered, and the product was ordered 
released to claimant under bond conditioned that it be made to conform to the 
provisions of the law.
