PRODUCT:   100   30-pound tins of frozen whole eggs at New York, N. Y.

NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (2), a mixture of frozen 
eggs, water, and yellow coal-tar color had been substituted in whole or in part 
for frozen eggs; and, Section 402 (b) (4), water had been added to the article 
so as to increase its bulk or weight and reduce its quality or strength, and 
yellow coal-tar color had been added to the article and mixed and packed with 
it so as to make it appear better and of greater value than it was.
Misbranding, Section 403 (g) (1), the article failed to conform to the defini- 
tion and standard of identity prescribed for frozen eggs since it contained 
added water and yellow coal-tar color, which are not permitted ingredients of 
frozen eggs in the definition and standard.

demnation was entered and the product was ordered delivered to charitable
