27644. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. 75 Cubes and 22 Cubes of Butter.    Con¬
solidated decree of condemnation. Product released under bond to be 
reworked.     (F. & D. Nos. 40001, 40002.    Sample Nos. 49318-C, 49408-C.)
This product was deficient in milk fat.
On June 25, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 97 cubes of butter at Chicago, 
111., alleging that it had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 7 
and June 16, 1937, by the Maleate Ice Cream Co. from Minster, Okla., 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 provided by law.
On July 7, 1937, Dauber Bros., claimant, Chicago, Ill., having admitted the 
allegations of the libels, a consolidated decree of condemnation was entered 
ordering that the product be released to claimant under bond, conditioned that 
it be reworked and brought up to the legal standard.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
