On December 12, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Alabama filed a libel against 1,954 cans, each containing 30 pounds, of frozen whole 
eggs at Birmingham, Ala., alleging that the article had. been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about December 3, 1942, by L. D. Schreiber & Co., Inc., from New 
York, N. Y.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a decomposed substance.
On January 4, 1943, L. D. Schreiber & Co., having appeared as claimant, the court 
ordered the marshal to deliver the product to the claimant upon the execution of a 
bond conditioned that the product be inspected and the good portion segregated,from 
the bad at the premises where seized, but that if.removal were necessary or desirable 
an additional bond be posted conditioned upon disposition of the product under the 
supervision of the Food and Drug Administration. On January 12, 1943, the product 
having been inspected and sorted as directed, and 1,261 cans having been found,to be 
fit for food, they were ordered released to the claimant and the 692 unfit cans were 
ordered disposed of for purposes other than human consumption.
