NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 1103.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
ADULTERATION OF EGG COLOR.
At the January term of court, 1911, the United States Attorney for 
the Southern District of New York, acting upon the report by the 
Secretary of Agriculture, filed information in the Circuit Court of 
the United States for the said district, against Wood & Schick, a cor- 
poration, of New York, N. Y., charging shipments by it, in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about March 19, 1910, from the 
State of New York into the State of Louisiana, of certain articles of 
food called " Light Shade Egg Color" and " Golden Egg Color", 
which were adulterated. The products were labeled: " Light Shade 
Egg Color—Wood & Schick, manufacturing chemists, 36 and 38 
Hudson St. New York," and, on the back of the container the follow- 
ing statement appeared: " This color is made of the specified colors 
in F. I. D. 76 in uncertified form. We guarantee them as such. 
Wood & Selick—Hudson, Duane & Thomas its., New York." The 
labels on the Golden Egg Color were the same, except as to the name 
of the product.
Analyses of samples of these products by the Bureau of Chemistry 
of this Department showed them to contain, respectively, one part in 
30,000, and one part in 37,000 arsenic. Adulteration was therefore 
charged in two counts in the information against these products, 
because they contained an added poisonous or deleterious ingredient, 
to wit, arsenic, which might render them injurious to health.
At the same term of court the defendant corporation pleaded 
guilty to the charges against the products and was fined $25 on each 
count, which fines were paid on May 1, 1911.
W. M. HAYS, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
