22469. Adulteration of  butter.    U.   S.  v.  9  Tubs  of Packing:  Stock Butter.
(F. & D. no. 32649.    Sample no. 69043-A.)
A sample of butter taken from the shipment involved in this case was found 
to contain filth.
On March 24, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of nine tubs of packing- 
stock butter at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about March 9, 1934, by Liebermann Produce Co., 
from Oklahoma City, Okla., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On May 7, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments 
was entered finding the product adulterated and ordering it destroyed by the 
United States marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
