550. Adulteration of butter.     U. S. v. 12 Cubes of Butter.     Decree of condemna¬
tion.    Product ordered released under bond to be reworked.     (F. D. C. No.
2165.    Sample No. 12060-E.)
On May 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California filed a libel against 12 cubes of butter at San Francisco, Calif., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
May 19, 1940, by Myrtle Point Creamery from Myrtle Point, Oreg.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that a product which contained less than 
80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On June 4, 1940, Wilsey Bennet Co., San Francisco, Calif., having appeared 
as claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered 
that the product be released under bond conditioned that it be made to con- 
form to the provisions of the law under the supervision of the Food and Drug 
Administration.
