1566. Adulteration and misbranding of frozen whole eggs.     U. S. v. 90 Cans of
Whole Eggs.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C.
No. 3223.    Sample Nos. 9849-E, 9855-E, 9860-E.)
This product contained egg white in excess of the amount that should be 
present in whole eggs.
On October 15, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana filed a libel against 90 cans, each containing 30 pounds, of whole eggs 
at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about July 15, 1940, by Swift & Go. from Houston, Tex.; and 
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a mixture of whole eggs and egg white 
had been substituted wholly or in part for whole eggs, which it purported to be. 
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it purported to be and was represented 
as whole eggs, a food for which a definition and standard of identity had been 
prescribed by regulations as provided by law, but it did not conform to such 
definition and standard.
On December 20, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
