This product contained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
On November 20, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Iowa, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Boone Dairy, Inc., Boone, Iowa, 
alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food and Drugs Act 
on or about August 25, 1938, and May 22, 1939, from the State of Iowa 
into the State of Illinois, of quantities of butter that was adulterated.
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 as prescribed by the 
act of March 4, 1923.
On December 2, 1939, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $200 and costs.
