30664. Adulteration of butter. V. S. v. 10 Boxes of Butter. Default decree of 
condemnation. Product ordered delivered to a charitable Institu- 
tion.    (F. & D. No. 45379.   Sample No. 51564-D.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On May 11, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Penn- 
sylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 10 boxes of butter at 
Philadelphia, Pa.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about May 3, 1939, from Falls City, Nebr., by Falls City Creamery 
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.
On May 29, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution 
after removal of the wrappers and cartons.
HAEBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
