25224. Adulteration of  butter.     TJ.  S.  v.  113  Tubs  of Butter.     Default  decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   no.   35716.    Sample   nos. 
22599-B, 22603-B, 22605-B, 22612-B.)
This case involved shipments of butter, samples of which were found to con- 
tain mold, hairs, fragments of insects, and other extraneous matter.
On June 4, 1935, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 113 tubs of butter 
at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, in various shipments, on or about May 14, 21, 23, and 27, 1935, by 
the West Creamery, from West, Miss., and charging adulteration in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On November 8 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
