24342. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Harry G. Kurrasch (Clinton Cream¬
ery).    Plea   of  guilty.    Fine,  $15.     (F.   &  D.  no.   32223.    Sample  nos. 
22274-A,  47071-A.)
This case was based on interstate shipments of butter that contained less 
than 80 percent of milk fat.
On January 2, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Min- 
nesota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court an information against Harry G. Kurrasch, trading as the Clinton 
Creamery, Clinton, Minn., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about July 25 and August 1, 1933, from the 
State of Minnesota into the State of Massachusetts of quantities of butter 
which was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be 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 January 2, 1935, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court 
imposed a fine of $15.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
