On April 27, 1928, 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 condemnation of 11 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?
April 19, 1928, and transported from the State of Minnesota into the State?
of New York, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of?
the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that a?
substance 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?
substituted 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.

ant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to?
the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture 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 $400, conditioned in part that it be reworked and?
reprocessed so that it contain at least 80 per cent of butterfat.
