22168. Adulteration of butter. U. S. v. 2 Cubes, et al., of Butter. Decree 
of condemnation  and  forfeiture.     Product  released  under  bond.
(F. & D. no. 32362.    Sample nos. 60408-A, 60410-A.)
This case involved a shipment of butter which was low in milk fat.
On January 23, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of eight cubes of butter 
at Seattle, Wash., consigned by the Cascade Creamery Co., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce from Cascade, Idaho, on or 
about January 13, 1934, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel 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 should contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat 
as provided by the act of March 4, 1923.
On February 14, 1934, the Cudahy Packing Co. having appeared as claimant 
for the property, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and 
it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the claimant upon 
payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $200, conditioned 
that it should not be sold or disposed of contrary to the provisions of the Fed- 
eral Food and Drugs Act.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
