1089. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. 15 Cartons of Butter.    Default decree of 
condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 3525.    Sample No. 36965-E.)
On December 2, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- 
setts filed a libel against 15 cartons of butter at Boston, Mass., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the period from on or 
about October 16, to on or about October 30, 1940, by the Davis-Cleaver Produce 
Co. from Quincy, Ill.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted 
in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance. It was labeled 
in part: "Netherland Brand Butter."
On January 6, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
