22916. Adulteration   and misbranding of   egg   noodles.   TJ.   S.   v.   Walker
Products   Co.,  Inc.   Plea  of  guilty.   Fine,  $10.     (P.  &  D.  no.  32903. 
Sample  no.  44142-A.)
This case was based on a shipment of alleged egg noodles. Examination 
showed that the product contained less egg solids than egg noodles should 
contain.
On August 18, 1934, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Indiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Walker Products Co., Inc., Indianap- 
olis, Ind., alleging shipment by said company, on or about August 5, 1933, from 
the State of Indiana into the State of Maryland, of a quantity of alleged egg 
noodles which were adulterated and misbranded. The article was invoiced as 
" Egg Noodles " and was sold under a contract calling for egg noodles.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that imitation egg noodles con- 
taining less egg solids than egg noodles contain, had been substituted for egg 
noodles, which the article purported to be.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an imitation of 
another article, and was offered for sale under the distinctive name of another 
article, egg noodles.
On September 8, 1934, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defend- 
ant company, and the court imposed a fine of $10.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
