On August 7, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado 
filed an information against the Rhodes Ranch Egg Co., a corporation, Denver, 
Colo., alleging shipment within the period from on or about November 26 to 
on or about December 10, 1940* from the State of Colorado into the States of 
New Mexico, Arizona, and Wyoming, of quantities of shell eggs which were 
adulterated and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Rhodes Seeled 
Fresh Eggs" or "Rhodes Nulade Eggs."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that oil-processed cold storage 
eggs had been substituted in whole or in part for fresh eggs, which it'purported 
to be. 
.,,.    ;.    ...    •
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements, "Seeled Fresh Eggs" 
or "Nulade. Eggs," borne, on the cartons or cases, were false and misleading in 
that they represented that it consisted of-fresh or new-laid eggs; whereas it did 
not so consist, but did consist in whole or in part of oil-processed cold storage eggs.
On August 22, 1941, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $1,400.
