26591. Adulteration of butter.     II. S. v. 74 Cubes and 84 Cubes of Butter.    Con¬
sent decrees of condemnation. Product released under bond to be 
reworked.     (F. & D. nos. 38212, 38218.    Sample nos. 4702-C, 4703-C.)
These cases involved butter that was deficient in milk fat.
On August 11, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Nebraska, 
acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
libels praying seizure and condemnation of 158 cubes of butter at Omaha, 
Nebr., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about June 1 and June 8, 1936, by the Linwood Creamery Co., from Wichita, 
Kans., and charging adulteration 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 should contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat, as pro- 
vided by the act of Congress of March 4, 1923.
On August 13, 1936, the Omaha Cold Storage Co., Omaha, Nebr., having ap- 
peared as claimant and having consented to the entry of decrees, judgments 
of condemnation were entered and it was ordered that the product be released 
under bond conditioned that it be reworked to the legal standard.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
