20221. Adulteration of   canned  frozen   eggs.     U.S.  v.   779   Cans   of  Frozen
Eggs. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product 
released under bond for separation, and destruction of unfit 
portion,     (p. & D. no. 28504.    Sample no. 11901-A.)
This action involved the interstate shipment of a quantity of canned frozen 
eggs, samples of which were found to be decomposed.
On July 25, 1932, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of New 
York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 779 cans of frozen eggs, remaining in the original pack- 
ages at Brooklyn, N.Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
July 10, 1932, by the Emulsol Corporation, from Chicago, Ill., to Brooklyn, N.Y., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was labeled in part: (Can) "Emulsol-M. * * * The Emulsol Corp. * * * 
Chicago, Ill."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On August 11, 1932, the Emulsol Corporation, Chicago, Ill., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a 
decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered; and it was 
ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant, upon 
payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $3,000, conditioned 
that it be sorted under the supervision of this Department, in order to separate 
the cans containing good eggs from the cans containing bad eggs, that the 
decomposed portion be destroyed and that the remainder be disposed of only 
in compliance with the law, State and Federal.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
