29851. Adulteration and misbranding of butter.    U. S. v. Dublin Creamery Co.,
Inc.     Plea   of   guilty.     Fine,   $100.      (F.   &  D.   No.   42585.     Sample   No. 
23727-D, 23729-D.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On November 8, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Dublin Creamery Co., Inc., Dublin, 
Tex., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act, on or about May 4, 1938, from the State of Texas into the State of Louis- 
iana, of a quantity of butter which was adulterated and misbranded. The 
article was labeled in part: "01' Fashund Roll Finest Creamery Butter * * * 
Distributors Wilson & Co."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a product which contained less than 
80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter, a product 
which should contain not less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat as pre- 
scribed by act of March 4, 1923.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Butter," 
. borne on the wrapper, was false and misleading since it was not butter as 
defined by said act.
On November 26, 1938, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court 
imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
HABBY L. blows, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
