On January 9, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed libels against 17 cartons, each containing 60 pounds of butter, 
at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce by the Paulsen Creamery Co., of Princeton, Minn., from Minneapolis, 
Minn., and that it had arrived at New York on or about January 2 and 4, 1940. 
The libel charged that the article was adulterated in that a product which con- 
tained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On January 22, 1940, the Paulsen Creamery Co., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libels and the cases having been consolidated, judgment 
of condemnation was entered, and the product was ordered released under bond 
conditioned that it be reworked so that it contain at least 80 percent butterfat.
