11094.?Adulteration of butter.    IT. S. v. 235 Tubs of Butter.    Decree of con?
demnation and forfeiture.     Product released under bond.     (F. & D.
No. 16513.    I. S. No. 1602-Y.    S. No. E-4100.)
On August 2, 1922, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu??
setts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel of information praying?
the seizure and condemnation of 235 tubs of butter, remaining in the original?
unbroken packages at Boston, Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped?
by the North American Creamery, Paynesville, Minn., on or about July 13. 1922,?
and transported from the State of Minnesota into the State of Massachusetts,?
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a sub??
stance, to wit, a product deficient in milk fat and high in moisture, had been?
mixed and packed therewith so as to reduce and lower and injuriously affect?
its quality and had been substituted wholly or in part for the said article.?
Adulteration was alleged for the further reason that a valuable constituent?
of the said article, to wit, butterfat, had been in part abstracted therefrom.
On November 10, 1922, the North American Creamery Co., Paynesville, Minn.,?
having entered an appearance as claimant for the property and having filed a?
satisfactory bond in conformity with section 10 of the act, judgment of con??
demnation was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product might?
be released to said claimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
