27080. Adulteration of   butter.     U.   S.   v.   2  Barrels   of  Packing   Stock   Butter.
Default  decree  of  condemnation  and destruction.     (F. & D.  no.   3S891. 
Sample no. 14576-C.)
This case involved butter that contained filth.
On December 11, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of two barrels of pack- 
ing stock butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, on or about September 3, 1936, by Ralph Hurst & Co., from Kansas 
City, Mo., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy animal substance.
On January 27, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
