25275. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Walter J. McHenry (North Star Dairy).
Plea of guilty.    Fine of $50 suspended.     (F. & D. no. 34033.    Sample 
no. 71322-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter which contained 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat
On June 11, 1935, the United States attorney for the District of Montana, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against Walter J. Henry, trading as North Star Dairy, 
Kalispell, Mont., charging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food 
and Drug Act, on or about May 23, 1934, from the State of Montana into the 
State of Washington, 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 October 31, 1935, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court 
imposed a fine of $50 which was suspended, and the defendant was placed on 
probation for 1 year.
R. G. TUGWELL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
