On March 20 and April 16, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of California filed libels against 33 cubes, each containing 68 pounds, 
of butter at Los Angeles, Calif., alleging that the article had been introduced in 
interstate commerce on or about March 7 and April 4, 1940, by the Dairymen's 
Cooperative Creamery of Boise Valley from Caldwell, Idaho; 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 April 11 and 26, 1940, the Challenge Cream & Butter Association and H. H.

tions of the libels, judgments of condemnation were entered, and it was ordered 
that the product be released under bond conditioned that it be brought into 
compliance with the law under the supervision of the Food and Drug Ad- 
ministration.
