21607. Adulteration of butter. U. S. v. The George Freese's Sons Co. Plea of nolo contendere. Fine, $100 and costs. (P. & D. no. 29448. I S no. 38842.) ? 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 established by Congress. On March 7, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern n District of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court an information against the George Freese's Sons Co., a corporation, Fostoria, Ohio, alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about September 24, 1931, from the State of Ohio into the State of Massachusetts, of a quantity of butter that was adulterated. The article was labeled in part: "From Geo. Freese's Sons Fostoria, O." 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, which the article purported to be. On October 9, 1933, a plea of nolo contendere to the information was entered on behalf of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs. M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
