1239. Adulteration of batter.    U. S. v. Saline County Milk Producers Association.
Plea of guilty. Fine, $5. (F. D. C. No. 2872. Sample Nos. 4887-E, 30522-E, 
30527-E.)
On November 29, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri filed an information against the Saline County Milk Producers 
Association, a corporation, Marshall, Mo., alleging shipment on or about May
4, 1940, from the State of Missouri into the State of Illinois, of a quantity of 
butter that was adulterated.   The article was labeled in part: "Creamery Butter
5. S. Borden Co. Chicago Distributor.''
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, had 
been in part omitted therefrom; and in that a product which contained less than 
80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On December 19, 1940, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $5.
Nos. 1240 to 1253, inclusive, of this publication report seizure and disposi- 
tion of butter which contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
