On June 9, 14, and 30, 1943, the United States attorneys for the Southern and 
Eastern Districts of New York filed libels against 31 cans and 195 cans of frozen 
whole eggs at New York, N. Y„ and 237 cans of frozen whole eggs at Brooklyn,
N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce from on 
or about April 5 to June 2,1943, by the Conestoga Cream & Cheese Manufacturing 
Corporation from Lima, Ohio; and charging that it was adulterated in that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed substance.
On July 3, 1943, no claimant having appeared for the 31-can lot, a judgment 
of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. On July 
26 and 29, 1943, the Conestoga Cream & Cheese Manufacturing Corp. of Lima, 
Ohio, and Nathan Erlich, of Brooklyn, N. Y., having appeared as claimants for 
the remaining lots and having admitted the allegations of the libels and consented 
to the entry of decrees, judgments of condemnation were entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond for segregation and destruction of the unfit 
portion, under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
