25882. Adulteration of butter.    IT. S. v. R. E. Cobb Co., a corporation.    Plea of 
guilty.    Fine, $25.    (F. & D. no. 36076.   Sample no. 41040-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of butter that was deficient in 
milk fat.
On February 4, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of North 
Dakota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against the R. B. Cobb Co., a corporation trading at Valley 
City, N. Dak., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act as amended on or about September 4, 1935, from the State of 
North Dakota into the State of Minnesota of a quantity of butter labeled in 
part: "63 Pounds Net."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance deficient in 
milk fat had been substituted for butter, a product which must contain not 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
On July 24, 1936, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court imposed 
a fine of $25.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
