25905. Adulteration of butter.    V. S. v. 38 Cases of Butter.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 36767.    Sample no. 48622-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of butter which was found to 
contain maggots and parts of insects.
On November 6, 1935, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Florida, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 38 cases of butter at 
Tampa, Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about October 17, 1935, by the Rosemary • Creamery, from Atlanta, Ga., 
and that it was adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
article was labeled in part: "Rosemary Pasteurized Process Butter * * * 
Manufactured by Rosemary Creamery   *   *    *, Atlanta Ga."
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 16,1936, 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.
