condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 3296.    Sample No. 31616-E.)
This product contained filth in addition to being deficient in milk fat.
On October 16, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois filed a libel against 26 boxes of butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 25, 
1940, by the Sni-A-Bar Creamery Co., from Independence, Mo.; and charging 
that it was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, putrid, and decomposed substance. It was alleged to be 
adulterated further in that a product containing less than 80 percent by weight 
of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On October 17,1940, the Sni-A-Bar Creamery Co. having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was 
ordered destroyed.
Nos. 1087 to 1092, inclusive, and 1094 report the seizure and disposi- 
tion of butter which contained mold.
