fault decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 3123.    Sam- 
ple No. 1617 6-B.)
This product contained an average of 73.19 percent of fat and 21.55 percent 
of moisture.   Oleomargarine should contain not less than 80 percent fat.
On or about October 3, 1940, the United States .attorney for the .Western 
District of Missouri filed a libel against 37 cases of vegetable oleomargarine at 
Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about September 19, 1940, by the Miami Butterine Co. from Cin- 
cinnati, Ohio; and charging that it was adulterated in that a substance defi- 
cient in fat and containing excessive moisture had been substituted wholly or 
in part for "oleomargarine. The article was labeled in part: (Cartons) "Nu-Maid 
Vegetable Oleomargarine."
On November 12, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
