752. Adulteration and misbranding of butter.   XJ. S. v. 15 Tubs of Butter.   Deeree 
of condemnation.    Product released under bond to be reworked.    (F. D. C.
No. 2273.    Sample No. 2395-E.)
On June 19, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts filed a libel against 15 tubs of butter at Somerville, Mass., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 11, 
1940, by the Farmers Cooperative Creamery from Sheldon, Iowa; and charging 
that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Butter 
Farmers Creamery Boyden, la."
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. It was alleged 
to be misbranded in that it was labeled "Butter," which was false and mis- 
leading as it contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On June 27, 1940, the claimant, Pipestone Produce Co., of Somerville, Mass., 
Icing admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it 
be reworked so that it contain at least 80 percent of milk fat.
