25236. Adulteration of   packing-stock   butter.     U.   S.   v.   5   Tubs   of   Packing-
Stock Butter.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. &
D. no. 35785.    Sample no. 33635-B.)
This case involved a shipment of packing-stock butter which contained less 
than 80 percent of milk fat.
On July 6, 1935, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five tubs of packing- 
stock butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about June 16, 1935, by the Gateway Farmers Creamery 
Co., from Crosse, Wis., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food/ 
and Drugs Act.
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 should contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat as provided by the 
act of March 4, 1923.
On October 3, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
