Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 8707. 
Sample No. 18010-F.)
On November 5, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 7 barrels, each containing 200 pounds, of dried 
whole eggs at Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the article had been introduced 
into and was in interstate commerce by reason of the following facts: It was 
a part of a lot of 60,000 pounds of dried whole eggs sold by Jacob Stern, New 
York, N. Y., to the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation, intended for 
lend-lease export under a written contract of sale dated July 29, 1942; in 
compliance with the terms of the contract 75 barrels were packed at North 
Bergen and labeled in part: "Jacob Stern Spray Dried Whole Eggs Contract 
No. FSC 27540 New York N Y USA M/F/O (in a triangle) August," and 
delivered to the Railroad Terminal & Refrigerating Co. warehouse, Jersey 
City, N. J. The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in 
whole or in part of a decomposed substance.
On May 24, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
