Consent decrees of condemnation and forfeiture. Product re- 
leased under bond. (F. & D. No. 17642. I. S. No. 374r-v. S. No. 
E-4441.)
On July 13, 1923, the United States attorney for the ? Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 101 tubs of butter, remaining unsold in the original 
unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., consigned by the Minnesota Cooperative 
Creameries Assoc, Inc., No. 7, Brooten, Minn., alleging that the article had 
been shipped on or about June 18, 1923, and transported in interstate commerce 
into the State of New York, 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 
substance deficient in butterfat and containing excessive moisture had been 
mixed and packed with and substituted in whole or in part for the said 
article. Adulteration was alleged for the further reason that a valuable 
constituent of the article, butterfat, had been in whole or in part abstracted.
On August 7, 1923, the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Assoc, Inc., 
claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and consented to the 
entry of decrees, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and 
it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant 
upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bonds in 
the aggregate sum of $3,960, in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned 
in part that it be shipped to the factory to be reworked and reprocessed under 
the supervision of this department.
