25549. Adulteration of butter.    TJ. S. v. Nicolas S. Jacobsen and Leo Jacobsen
(Dexter Creamery Co.).     Plea of guilty.     Fine, $20.     (F. & D. no. 34040. 
Sample no. 16723-B.)
This case involved a shipment of butter that contained less than 80 percent of 
milk fat.
On January 28, 1936, 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 Nicolas S. Jacobsen and Leo Jacobsen, copartners 
trading as the Dexter Creamery Co., Dexter, Minn., alleging shipment by said 
defendants in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about August 29, 1934, 
from the State of Minnesota into the State of New York, of a quantity of 
butter that was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance 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 by weight of milk fat, as required 
by the act of Congress of March 4, 1923, which the article purported to be.
On January 28, 1936, Nicolas S. Jacobsen was arraigned and entered a plea of 
guilty on behalf of the concern, and a fine of $20 was imposed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
