22457. Adulteration and misbranding of butter. V. S. v. 4 Boxes of Butter. Default decree of forfeiture and destruction. (F. & D. no. 32629. Sample nos. 58210-A, 58211-A.) This case involved a shipment of alleged butter that was found to consist of colored oleomargarine. On March 31, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- setts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four boxes of butter at Boston, Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- merce, by Swift & Co. (Mar. 23 and Mar. 29, 1934), from Hartford, Conn., and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " Country Roll Creamery Butter." It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that oleomar- garine had been substituted for butter, which the article purported to be. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article was an imitation of and was offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article, " Butter." On April 30, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of forfeiture was entered and it was ordered by the court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal. M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
