28065. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. 42 Tubs of Butter.    Consent decree of
condemnation.    Product released under bond for reworking.     (F. & D.
No. 40243.    Sample Nos. 34077-C, 34078-C.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On or about August 19, 1937, 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 42 tubs of 
butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate
commerce on or about August 7,1937, from El Reno, Okla., by the W. D. Wright 
Produce Co., 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 for by 
the act of Congress of March 4, 1923.
On September 23, 1937, the W. D. Wright Produce Co., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a 
decree, judgment, of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
released under bond conditioned that it be reworked.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
