22566. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Soren Sorenson (Kimball Creamery
Co.).    Plea   of   guilty.     Fine,   $25   and   costs.     (F.   &   D.   no.   30227. 
Sample no. 3570-A.)
This case was based on a shipment of butter that contained less than 80 
percent by weight of milk fat.
On September 26, 1933, the United States attorney for the District of Ne- 
braska, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against Soren Sorenson, trading as the Kimball Creamery 
Co., Kimball, Nebr., alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act, on or about July 27, 1932, from the State of Nebraska into the 
State of Illinois, of a quantity of butter which was adulterated.
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 must contain not less than 80 percent by weight of 
milk fat as required by the act of Congress of March 4, 1923, which the article 
purported to be.
On June 11, 1934, the defendant entered a plea of guilty, and the court im- 
posed a fine of $25 and costs.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
