ing that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 
16, 1940, by the Griggs County Creamery Co. from Cooperstown, N. Dak.; and 
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: 
"Butter Distributed by J. R. Kramer Inc.    *    *   *   New York."

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 mislead- 
ing as it contained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
