Hen Egg Yolk. Consent decree of condemnation. Produet ordered 
released under bond to be denatured. (F. D. C. No. 4936. Sample No. 
69060-E.)
In this case soybean flour and carotin had been substituted in whole or in 
part for dried egg yolk.
On June 17, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed a libel against 8 200-pound cases of spray egg yolk at Hackensack, N. J., 
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about April 10, 1941, by Rogol 
Distributors, Inc., from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging that it was adulterated 
and misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Spray Hen Egg Yolk Packed By 
Hongkong Export."
The artiele was alleged to be adulterated (1) in that a substance, spray 
dried egg yolk containing soybean flour with added carotin, had been substi- 
tuted wholly or in part for spray hen egg yolk, which it purported to be; and 
(2) in that soybean flour with added carotin had been added thereto or mixed 
or packed therewith so as to reduce its quality or strength.
It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the name "Spray Hen Egg Yolk" 
was false and misleading as applied to spray dried egg yolk containing soybean 
flour with added carotin; (2) in that it was offered for sale under the name 
of another food; and (3) 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 May 1, 1942, Rogol Distributors, Inc., claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that, under the supervision of the 
Food and Drug Administration, it be reprocessed by the addition of 10 percent 
of cocoa so that it could not be sold as spray hen egg yolk but solely as a 
mixture of hen egg yolk, soybean flour, and cocoa, and that it be relabeled so 
as to comply with the law.
