13340. Adulteration  and  misbranding-  of butter.     V.  S.  v.  60  Tubs  of Bat 
tel". Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product 
released under bond to be reworked. (F. & D. No. 20016. I. S. No. 
13848-v.    S. No. JS-5279.)
On April 7, 1925, 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 60 tubs of butter, remaining in the original unbroken 
packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
Farmer's Coop. Creamery Co., Delhi, Iowa, on or about March 27, 1925, and 
transported from the State of Iowa into the State of New York, and 
charging adulteration and misbranding 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 therewith so as to reduce, lower, or injuriously affect its 
quality or strength and had been substituted in whole or in part for the said 
article.
-Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was offered for sale 
under the distinctive name of another article.
On April 22, 1925, the Greeley Farmers Creamery, Greeley, Iowa, claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation was 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 a bond in the sum of $1,500, 
in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that it be reworked 
and reprocessed.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
