22064. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Armour & Co. (Armour Creameries).
Plea of grnllty. Fine, ¥100. (F. ft D. no. 31344. Sample nos. 31033-A, 
31035-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter, samples of which 
were found to contain less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On February 19, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against Armour & Co., a corporation trading as Armour 
Creameries, at Pocatello, Idaho, alleging shipment by said company, in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about November 26, 1932, from the 
State of Idaho into the State of Washington, 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 
substituted for butter, a product which must contain not less than 80 percent 
by weight of milk fat as defined by the act of Congress of March 4, 1923, 
which the article purported to be.
On March 14, 1934, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company, and the court imposed a fine of $100.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
