30857. Adulteration of butter.    V. S. v. Seven Tubs of Butter.    Consent decree 
of condemnation.    Product released under bond to be reworked.    (F. &
D. No. 45543.   Sample No. 55608-D.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On June 8, 1939, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of seven tubs of butter at 
Chicago, Ill.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about May 22, 1939, by Mooreland Community Creamery from Mooreland, 
Okla.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article 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 of milk fat as provided 
by act of March 4^1923.
On July 26, 1939, the Peter Fox Sons Co., Chicago, Ill. claimant, 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 to the legal standard.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
