24350. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Matt L. Langrenfelt and Richard A.
Wittenbel   (Milbank   Creamery   Co.).     Plea   of   guilty.     Fine,   SIO.
(F. & D. no. 32224.    Sample nos. 22272-A, 39824-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter that contained 
less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On January 3, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against Matt L. Langenfeld and Richard A. Wittenbel, 
trading as the Milbank Creamery Co., Milbank, S. Dak., alleging shipment 
by said defendants in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about 
August 1, 1933, from the State of Minnesota into the State of Massachusetts 
of a quantity 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 3, 1935, a plea of guilty was entered and the court imposed a 
fine of $10.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture,
