20760. Adulteration of butter.   U. S. v. Alfred Sjoberg (Bridprewater Cream¬
ery Co.).   Plea of guilty.   Fine, $25.      (F. & D. no. 29446.    Sample no. 
3558-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter, samples of which 
were found to contain less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
On March 1, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of South 
Dakota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
District Court of the United States an information against Alfred Sjoberg, 
trading as the Bridgewater Creamery Co., Bridgewater, S.Dak., alleging ship- 
ment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about 
October 14, 1931, from the State of South Dakota into the State of Iowa, of a 
quantity of butter that was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that a 
product containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been sub- 
stituted for butter, a product which should contain not less than 80 percent by 
weight of milk fat as prescribed by the act of Congress of March 4,1923, which 
the article purported to be.
On March 16,1933, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $25.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
