774. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. 3 Tubs of Butter.    Default decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 2620.    Sample No. 30541-E.)
On or about August 10, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed a libel against three tubs of butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 23, 
1940, by the Merrick Dairy Co. from Beloit, Wis.; and charging that it was adul- 
terated in that a product containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat 
had been substituted for butter.   It was labeled in part: "Merrick Dairy Co.
* *    *   Butter Karsten & Sons   *   *   *   Chicago, Ill. Distributors."
On August 24, 1940, the consignee having consented, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
