On October 6, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed an information against Rothenberg & Schneider Bros., Inc., Chicago, 
111., and Herman Rothenberg and Sam Schneider, alleging shipment within the 
period from on or about May 12 to on or about September 2, 1941, from the State 
of Illinois to the State of Minnesota of a quantity of egg yolks that were adulter- 
ated and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Yolks With Approx. 
10% Sugar."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of egg yolks, added egg 
whites, and approximately 10 percent of sugar had been substituted for egg yolks 
with approximately 10 percent sugar.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Yolks With Approx. 
10% Sugar" was false and misleading since the said statement represented and 
suggested that the article consisted of egg yolks with approximately 10 percent of 
sugar and no other ingredient, whereas it did not so consist but did consist of 
egg yolks, added egg whites, and sugar.
On October 12, 1942, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
corporation and pleas of nolo contendere were entered by the individual de- 
fendants. On October 20, 1942, the court imposed a fine of $25 against the cor- 
poration and found the individual defendants not guilty.
