21101. Adulteration of   butter.     V.   S.  v.   Arthur   S.   Gustafson   (Henriette
Creamery Co.).    Plea of guilty.    Fine, *10.    (F. & D. no. 29440.    I. S. 
no. 33946.)
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, the standard 
for butter prescribed by Congress.
On May 2, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against Arthur S. Gustafson, trading as Henriette Creamery 
Co., Henriette, Minn., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act, on or about June 3, 1931, from the State of Minnesota 
into the State of New York, of a quantity of butter that was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
a product which contained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been 
substituted for butter, a product which should contain not less than 80 percent 
by weight of milk fat as prescribed by the act of March 4,1923.
On May 2, 1933, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $10.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
