NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 305, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION OF DESICCATED EGG.
On or about July 31, and August 7, 1909, the Columbia Desiccated?
Egg Company., of Chicago, 111., shipped from the State of Illinois?
into the State of Maryland two consignments of a desiccated egg?
product. Analysis of samples of these shipments made in the Bureau?
of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, showed the?
product to be adulterated within the meaning of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
As it appeared from the findings of the analyst and the reports?
made that the shipments were liable to seizure under section 10 of the?
act, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the facts to the United?
States attorney for the District of Maryland. In due course a libel?
was filed against three drums of desiccated egg product, being all?
that remained of the above shipments, charging adulteration within?
the meaning of the act, because it consisted of filthy, decomposed,?
and putrid substance.
On October 27, 1909, the said Columbia Desiccated Egg Co. filed?
an answer and set up claim to the product. Subsequently on March?
21, 1910, the Columbia Desiccated Egg Co. withdrew its claim and?
filed its consent to the passage of a decree of condemnation and for??
feiture, and on March 22, 1910, the court rendered its decree of con??
demnation and forfeiture, and directed that the product should be?
destroyed.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
JAMES WILSON,?
Secretary of Agriculture.
