Albumen.     Consent decree of condemnation.   Product ordered released 
under bond.     (F. &. D. No. 44332.    Sample No. 26444-D.)
This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold 
and in the original packages. At the time of examination it was found to be 
insect-infested.
On November 14, 1938, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 83 barrels of flake egg 
albumen at Jersey City, N. J.; alleging that the article had been shipped on or 
about August 10, 1938, by Henningsen Bros., Inc., from Lamesa, Tex.; and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Fancy Flake Hen Egg Albumen."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in "that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy animal substance.
On January 9, 1940, Henningsen Bros., Inc., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered ordering release 
of the product under bond, conditioned that it be denatured in such manner 
as to effectively preclude its use for human consumption but not its availability 
for technical use.
GROVER B. HILL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
