This product was short weight.
On May 15, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California filed a libel against 13 cases of butter at Sacramento, Calif., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 9, 1940, 
by Minden Butter Co. from Minden, Nev., and charging that it was misbranded. 
The article was labeled in part: "Windmill Brand Butter One Pound Net."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it was labeled "One Pound Net," which 
was false and misleading since the package contained less than that amount. It 
was alleged to be misbranded further in that it was a food in package form and 
did not bearan accurate statement of-the quantity the contents in terms 
of weight, measure, or numerical count.
On June 4, 1940, the Minden Butter Manufacturing Co., claimant, having ad- 
mitted 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 contain at least 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
