24624. Adulteration of butter.     TT.  S. v. 4 Cans  of Butter.     Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 35406.    Sample no. 21705-B.)
This case involved a shipment of butter which contained mold and filth.
On April 6, 1935, 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 four cans of butter 
at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about March 23, 1935, by Williamson Bros., from Tecumseh, 
Mich., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "From Williamson Bros., Tecumseh, Mich."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On April 25, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
