On September 5, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 15 cartons of butter at New York, N. Y„ 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 20, 1940, by the Goodrich Creamery Co. from Goodrich, N. Dak.; and 
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: 
"Butter Distributed by Hunter Walton & Co.,    *    *    * ¦ New York."
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 the article was labeled "Butter," which was false 
and misleading as it contained less than 80 percent milk fat.
On September JL8> , 1940,the claimant, the Goodrich Creamery Co., having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered 
and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be re- 
worked so that it contain at least 80 percent of milk fat.
