26194. Adulteration of butter.     U. S. v. Benjamin Franklin Huggins   (Huggins
Dairy).     Plea   of  guilty.     Fine,   $25.     (F.   &  D.   no.   37009.    Sample   no. 
40871-B.)
This case involved butter that was deficient in milk fat
On June 24, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court an information against Benjamin Franklin Huggins, trading as Huggins 
Dairy, Lewiston, Idaho, alleging that on or about December 16, 1935, the 
defendant shipped from Lewiston, Idaho, into the State of Washington, a 
quantity of butter which was adulterated in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.
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 defined by act of Congress, which the article purported to be.
On July 9, 1936, a plea of guilty was entered by the defendant and the 
court imposed a fine of $25.
HABBY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
