22810. Adulteration of butter.    U.  S.  v.  1  Tub  of Butter.    Default  decree
of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. no. 32873. 
Sample no. 69645-A.)
A sample of butter taken from the shipment involved in this case was found 
to contain filth, such as larvae, cow hairs, and mold.
On May 23, 1934, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one tub of butter 
at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate
commerce on or about May 16, 1934, by W. B. Barutti & Co., from Davidson, 
N. C, 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 a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On June 15, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment of 
condemnation and 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.
