1055. Adulteration of butter.     U. S. v. Perry Kier.     Plea of guilty.     Fine, $50 and
costs.     (F. D. C. No. 2130.    Sample Nos. 10962-B, 85876-D.)
On October 14, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Kansas 
filed an information against Perry Kier, Mankato, Kans., alleging shipment on 
or about February 15 and May 2, 1940, from the State of Kansas into the State 
of New York, of quantities of butter that was adulterated. It was labeled 
in part: "Butter S. & W. Waldbaum Inc. Distributors New York, N. Y."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk 
fat, had been in part omitted therefrom; and in that a substance containing 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On December 2, 1940, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court 
imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
