decree of condemnation.   Product ordered released under bond.    (F. D. C.
No. 5842.     Sample No. 49773-E.)
On September 24, 1941, the United States attorney for the Middle District of 
Alabama filed a libel against 360 cans of frozen eggs at Montgomery, Ala., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 5, 1941, 
by.Cudahy Packing Co. from Chicago, Ill.; and charging that it was adulterated 
in that it consisted wholly or in part of a decomposed substance. The article was 
labeled in part: "Net Weight 30 Pounds Cudahy's Sunlight Whole Eggs."
On October 3, 1941, the Cudahy Packing Co. having appeared as claimant, an 
order was entered permitting release of the product under bond conditioned that 
it should not be disposed of in violation of the law. On October 10, 1941, an 
amended decree was entered condemning the product and ordering that it be 
delivered to the claimant to be brought into compliance with the law under the 
supervision of the Food and Drug Administration. It was examined and sorted 
and the unfit portion converted into tankage.
