(F. D. C. No. 3239.    Sample No. 34177-E.)
On October 9, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 10 cartons of butter at New York, N. Y. (consigned 
by the New England Creamery from New England, N. Dak.), alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about September 21 and 
24, 1940; and charging that it was adulterated in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. The article 
was labeled in part: "Fortgang Bros.   *    *    *   N. Y."
On October 21, 1940, Fortgang Bros., Inc., New York, N. Y., claimants, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and 
the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be reworked 
to contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat.
