This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On May 31, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Massachusetts, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court a 
libel praying seizure and condemnation of 25 tubs of butter at Boston, Mass., 
consigned about May 19, 1939; alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce by S. C. Borden Co. from Chicago, Ill.; and charging adul- 
teration in violation of the Food and Drugs act.
Adulteration was alleged 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 by weight of milk fat, which the article pur- 
ported to be.
On July 11, 1939, the Buffalo Community Creamery, of Buffalo, Okla., claim- 
ant, 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 so that it contain not less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
