condemnation.    Product delivered to a charitable institution.    (F. & D.
No. 43143.    Sample No. 26128-D.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On July 13, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of four boxes of butter 
at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about June 18, 1938, by Lakota Creamery from Lakota, N. Dak.; 
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 of milk fat had been substituted for butter, a product which 
should contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat as provided by act of March 
4, 1923.
On August. 4, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution.
