condemnation.    Product released under bond to be reworked.     (F. & D
No. 42989.    Sample No. 21753-D.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On May 12, 1988, 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 61 tubs of butter at 
Chicago, Ill.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about May 2,1938, by Talbot-Woods & Kelly Butter Co., Inc., from Kansas 
City, 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 provided for by 
the act of March 4, 1923.
On May 23, 1938, D. J. Coyne & Co., Chicago, claimant, having admitted the 
allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be reworked to the legal 
standard.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
