ADULTERATION OF FROZEN EGG WHITES AND EGG YOLKS AND 
ALLEGED ADULTERATION OF FROZEN WHITES OF EGGS.
On July 23, 1910, the United States Attorney for the Southern 
District of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 211 cans of 
frozen whites of eggs and 215 cans of frozen egg whites and egg 
yolks, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and 
owned by the European Egg Co., New York, N. Y., alleging that 
the product had been shipped from the State of Nebraska into the 
State of New York and charging adulteration in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act.    The product bore no label.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that each of said 211 cans contained an article of food, to wit, frozen 
whites of eggs, which, being animal substance, were in whole or in 
part filthy, putrid, and decomposed; and each of said 215 cans 
contained an article of food, to wit, frozen egg whites and egg yolks 
mixed, which, being an animal substance, were in whole or in part 
filthy, putrid, and decomposed.
On October 22, 1913, the European Egg Co., claimant, having 
filed its claim and answer, but having failed to appear when the 
case was called for a hearing, and the court having ordered an 
inquest and the United States having submitted proof in support
27419°—No. 2780—14
of the allegations as to the 215 cans and having waived all claim 
for forfeiture as to the 211 cans, and the court having directed a 
verdict in favor of the United States condemning the 215 cans and 
ft verdict having been rendered pursuant to said direction, a judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered as to the 215 cans 
and it was ordered by the court that the product contained therein 
should be destroyed by the United States marshal and that the costs 
of the proceedings, amounting to $61.81, be assessed against said 
claimant. It was further ordered that the 211 cans of frozen whites 
of eggs be released to said claimant.
