780. Adulteration  and misbranding of butter.    U.  S. v.  12  Cartons  of Butter.
Consent decree of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond 
to be reworked.    (F. D. C. No. 2277.   Sample No. 33684-E.)
On or about June 20, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of 
New Jersey filed a libel against 12 cartons of butter at Jersey City, N. J., 
alleging that the article had been shipped on or about June 4, 1940, by the 
New Sweden Creamery Association, of Nicollet, Minn., from Duluth, Minn.; 
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. It was 
alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the label, "Butter," was false 
and misleading since it was not correct.
On June 29, 1940, the New Sweden Creamery Association, claimant, having 
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 comply with the law.
