3105.?Adulteration and misbranding of butter.   TJ. S. v. Christo Brandy.   Plea of guilty
Fine, S10.   (F. & D. No. 195-c.)
On November 24, 1913, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,?
acting upon a report by the Health Officer of said District, authorized by the Secretary?
of Agriculture, filed an information in the Police Court of the District aforesaid against?
Christo Brandy, Washington, D. C, alleging the sale by said defendant, in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act, on October 16, 1913, at the District aforesaid, of a quantity?
of so-called butter, which was adulterated and misbranded. The product bore no?
label. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the information for the reason that?
another substance, namely, oleomargarine, had been substituted for the butter in whole?
and in part. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the product was an imitation?
of butter and was offered for sale and was sold under the distinctive name of another?
article of food.
On November 24, 1913, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information?
and the court imposed a fine of $10.
