746. Adulteration  and misbranding of butter.     U.  S. v.  84  Cartons of Butter.
Consent   decree   of  condemnation.     Product  released  under  bond  to  be 
reworked.    (F. D. C. No. 2278.   Sample No. 33689-E.)
On or about June 20, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of 
New Jersey filed a libel against 34 cartons of butter at North Hawthorne, 
N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about June 6, 1940, by the Cooperative Farmers Creamery from Glenwood City, 
Wis.; and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled 
in part: "Butter GR. A & P Tea Co. N Y Distributors."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less than 80 
percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. Misbranding was 
alleged in that the statement "Butter," borne on the label, was false and mis- 
leading since it was not correct. 
On June 29, 1940, the claimant, the Boyceville Cooperative Creamery As- 
sociation, Glenwood City, Wis., having admitted the allegations of the libel, 
judgment of condemnation was entered, and the product was ordered re- 
leased under bond conditioned that it be reworked to comply with the law.
