4600. Adulteration of frozen wbole eggs.    TJ. S. v. 172 Cartons of Frozen Wbole
Eggs.    Default decree of condemnation.    Product ordered sold to highest 
bidder.     (F. D. C. No. 9166.    Sample No. 6218-F.)
On January 9, 1943, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri filed a libel against 172 cartons, each containing 32 pounds, of frozen 
whole eggs at St. Louis, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about December 19, 1942, by the Oudahy Packing Co. from 
Cuero, Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole 
or in part of a decomposed substance.
On May 20, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. Subsequently the decree 
was amended, the order of destruction was vacated and the product ordered 
sold after safeguards had been adopted, as directed by the Federal Security 
Agency, to prevent the disposition in violation of the law.
