These cases involved cream that was in various stages of decomposition.
On or about June 11, June 13, and June 22, 1936, the United States attorney 
for the District of Colorado, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of three 
10-gallon cans of cream at Denver, Colo., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce in various shipments on or about June 9, June 
12, and June 16, 1936, by Terry Carpenter, from Scottsbluff, Nebr., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
A portion of the article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was rancid, 
cheesy, and decomposed; a portion because it consisted in whole or in part of 
a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On or about June 11, June 13, and June 22, 1936, the Mountain States 
Creamery Co., Denver, Colo., the consignee, having admitted the allegations of 
the libels and having consented to the entry of decrees, judgments were entered 
ordering destruction of the product.
