This product in addition to containing mold, was also deficient in milk fat.

Pennsylvania filed a libel against 11 tubs of butter at Philadelphia, Pa., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 
3,1940, by Chesapeake Dairy Products Co. Inc., from Mathews, Va.; and charging 
that it was adulterated. It was labeled in part: "A. F. Bickley & Son * * * 
Phila. Pa."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less than 80 per- 
cent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. It was alleged to. be 
adulterated further in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy or decom- 
posed animal substance.
On October 2, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
