1246. Adulteration and misbrandingr of butter.    U. S. v. Twelve 60-Pound Cubes
of Butter.    Consent decree of condemnation.    Product ordered released 
under bond.    (F. D. C. No. 3803.    Sample No. 40251-E.)
On January 31, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania filed a libel against twelve 60-pound cubes of butter at Philadelphia, 
Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about January 21, 1941, by the Manannah Creamery from Mahannah, Minn.; and 
charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: 
"Bulk Butter Distributed by C. G. Heyd and Co. of Phila., Pa."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. It was 
alleged to be misbranded in that it was labeled "Butter," which was false and 
misleading since it contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On February 4, 1941, C. G. Heyd & Co., claimant, having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered, and the product was 
ordered released under bond conditioned that it be brought into compliance with 
the law under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
