(F. D. C. No. 15703.    Sample No. 3414-H.)
LIBEL FILED :   March 28, Middle District of Pennsylvania.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about September 28, 1944, and January 10, 1945, by 
the Egg-O-Milk Co., from Baltimore, Md. 
•
PRODUCT: 45 100-pound bags of Egg-O-Milk Co.'s Blend at York, Pa. The product 
consisted essentially of soybean flour, wheat flour, small amounts of whole wheat 
particles resembling a malted wheat, spray-dried grains resembling those of 
dried egg, and a trace of yeast.
LABEL IN PART: "Egg-O-Milk Co.'s Blend Buttermilk, Skim Milk, Malt Flour 
(Wheat Malt, Barley Malt, Soy Malt), Powdered Egg-Yolk, Yeast."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the name "Egg-O-Milk Co.'s 
Blend" was misleading since the article was formerly sold under the name 
"Egg-O-Milk," and this name implied that the article consisted essentially of 
egg and milk. Further misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement, 
"Buttermilk, Skim Milk, Malt Flour (Wheat Malt, Barley Malt, Soy Malt), 
Powdered Egg-Yolk, Yeast," was false and misleading as applied to an article 
containing little, if any, buttermilk or skim milk.
DISPOSITION:    On October 29, 1945, the Egg-O-Milk Co. having withdrawn its
• answer to the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered
that the product be distributed to such charitable institutions as might use it
for the feeding of farm animals.   The product was to be destroyed if no
charitable institution accepted it for feeding purposes.
