730. Adulteration of butter.    U.  S. v. Barrett  Cooperative  Creamery Co.     Plea
of guilty.     Fine,  $75.     (F. D.  C. No.  959.     Sample Nos.  85834-D.  10308-E, 
10333-E.)
On August 14, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota 
filed an information against the Barrett Cooperative Creamery Co., a corpora- 
tion, at Barrett, Minn., alleging shipment within the period from on or about 
December 26, 1939, to on or about March. 19, 1940, from the State of Minnesota 
into the State of New York, of quantities of butter which was adulterated. 
It was labeled in part: "Distributed by Gude Bros. Kiefer Co. * * * New 
York."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, 
milk fat, had been in part omitted therefrom and in that a product containing 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On August 14, 1940, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and a fine of $75 was imposed.
