On January 5, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 60 cartons, each containing approximately 60 
pounds of butter, at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about December 26, 1939, by Barrett Creamery 
from Barrett, Minn.; and charging that it was adulterated in that a product 
containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted 
for butter.
On January 18, 1940, the Barrett Co-operative Creamery Co., claimant, hav- 
ing admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was en- 
tered, and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it 
be reworked so that it contain at least 80 percent of milk fat.
