15008. Adulteration and Misbranding of butter. IT. S. v. 33 Tubs of 
Butter. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Prod- 
uct   released   under   bond.      (F.   &   D.   No.   21844.     I.   S.   No.   16523-x.
S. No. E-6057.)
On April 7, 1927, 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 seizure and condemna- 
tion of 32 tubs of butter, remaining in the original unbroken packages at New 
York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by the Twin Willows 
Creamery Co., Holloway, Minn., on or about March 26, 1927, and transported 
from the State of Minnesota into the State of New York, and charging adultera- 
tion and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a sub- 
stance deficient in butterfat had been mixed and packed therewith so as to 
reduce, or lower, or injuriously affect its quality or strength, and had been sub- 
stituted wholly 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.
[1927
On April 11, 1927, the Twin Willow Creamery Co., Holloway, Minn., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of 
a deeree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
j 
ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant upon
E 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum
of $1,000, conditioned in part that it be reworked and reprocessed so as to con- 
tain at least 80 per cent of butterfat.
W. M. JARDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
