This product was represented to be dried egg yolk; whereas it consisted of 
a mixture of dried egg yolk, soybean flour, and carotin.
On June 19, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
New York filed a libel against 5 cases, each containing 200 pounds, of egg 
yolk at Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging that the article had been imported from China 
within the period from on or about June 15, 1939, to on or about July 29, 1940; 
and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: 
"Spray Hen Egg Yolk Packed by Hongkong Export Co."; or "Egg Yolk."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a spray-dried egg yolk 
containing soybean flour with added carotin had been substituted wholly or 
in part for spray hen egg yolk; and in that soybeanlflpur with added carotin 
had been added to the article or mixed or packed therewith so as to, reduce
its quality or strength.. It was alleged to be misbranded in that the names 
"'Egg Yolk" and "Spray Hen Yolk" were false and misleading; in that it 
was offered for sale under the name of another food; and in that it was 
fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear the common 
or usual name of each ingredient
On December 1, 1941, Rogol Distributors, Inc., Brooklyn, N. Y., claimant,

entered and it was ordered that the product be released under bond conditioned 
that it be mixed with 10 percent of cocoa so that it could not be sold as spray 
hen egg yolk and that it be properly relabeled, all under the supervision of the 
Food and Drug Administration.
