25904. Adulteration of butter.    TJ. S. v. 25 Cases, and 25 Cases of Butter.    De¬
fault   decree   of  condemnation  and  destruction.      (F.   &  D.   no.   36763. 
Sample nos. 41706-B, 41721-B, 41727-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of butter which was found to con- 
tain mold, pieces of insects, and other extraneous material.
On October 31, 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 50 cases each con- 
taining thirty-two 1-pound rolls of butter at New Orleans, La., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 16 and 23, 
1935, by Jerpe Dairy Products Corporation, from Fayetteville, Ark., and that it 
was adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The rolls were labeled 
in part: (Wrapper) "01' Fashund Roll Finest Creamery Butter Clear Brook 
Quality Made from Pasteurized Cream, Of Fashund Roll Distributors Wilson 
& Co.   General Offices Chicago, Ill."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On January 21, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the butter be destroyed.
W. R. GBEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
