21667. Adulteration of batter. U. S. v. Otto C. Larsen (Akron Creamery 
Co.). Plea of guilty. Fine, $10 and costs. (F. & D. no. 30260. 
Sample no. 12455-A.)
This case was based on a 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 October 16, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Iowa, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Otto C. Larsen, trading as the Akron 
Creamery Co., at Akron, Iowa, alleging shipment by said defendant in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about August 26, 1932, from the State of 
Iowa 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 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 provided by the act of March 4, 1923.
On October 16, 1933, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant, and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
