(F. & D. No. 16151.    I. S. No. 7921-t.    S. No. E-3851.)
On April 26, 1922, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?
Pennsylvania, 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 300 cans of frozen eggs, remaining in the original unbroken?
packages at Philadelphia, Pa., consigned by the American Egg & Products Co.?
(Booth Cold Storage Co.), St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been?
shipped from St. Louis, Mo., on or about February 10, 1922, and transported?
from the State of Missouri into the State of Pennsylvania, and charging adul??
teration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal sub??
stance.
On May 26, 1922, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of?
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that?
the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
