On August 19, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington filed a libel against 25 cans, each containing 30 pounds, of frozen 
whole eggs, at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 4, 1942, by the Portland Egg & Poultry 
Co. from Portland, Oreg.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a decomposed substance.
On October 2, 1943, Teresa Fosati, doing business as Portland Egg and Poultry 
Co., having appeared as claimant and having denied the allegation as to-the 
Adulteration of the product, the case was tried by the court and, upon a finding 
that 11 cans were adulterated and the remainder not adulterated, was a decree 
entered providing for the condemnation and destruction of 11 of the cans and 
release of the remaining cans to the claimant.
