30492. Misbranding of butter. TT. S. v. 25 Cases of Butter. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. No. 45154. Sample No. 62781-D.) This product was short of the declared weight. On March 23, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 25 cases of butter at New Orleans, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- merce from Chicago, Ill., in part on or about March 2, 1939, by Oloverleaf Creameries, Inc., and in part on or about March 9, 1939, by the North Pole Cold Storage Co.; and charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act as amended. The article was labeled in part: (Retail containers) "Kraft Chiffon Pure Whipt Butter 8 Oz. Net Weight Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corp. Chicago, Ill." It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "8 Oz. Net Weight" was false and misleading and tended to deceive and mislead the purchaser; and in that it was food in package form and the quantity of contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package, since the quantity stated was not correct. On May 6, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed. M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
