York into the State of New Jersey of a number of drums of liquid whole eggs 
that were adulterated and inisbranded.
The article was alleged to be adulterated (1) in that a product high in 
reducing sugars had been substituted wholly or in part for whole eggs, and

borne on the tag attached, to the drums was false and misleading; and (2) 
in that it purported to be liquid whole eggs, a food for which a definition and 
standard of identity had been prescribed by regulations promulgated pursuant 
to law, but did not conform to such definition and standard in that it did not 
consist of eggs of the domestic hen broken from the shells.and with yolks 
and whites in their natural proportions as so broken.

defendant, the case was tried to a jury. The trial was concluded on June 8, 
1942, and the jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
