1419. Adulteration of butter.   U. S. v. Armour & Co. (Armour Creameries).   Plea
of guilty.    Fine. $150.     (F. D. C. No. 2950.    Sample Nos. 24515-E, 24516-E, 
24519-E, 24525-fl, 24526-E, 24527-E.)
On March 31,1941, the United States attorney for the District of South Dakota 
filed an information against Armour & Co., a corporation trading as Armour 
Creameries at Mitchell, S. Dak., alleging shipment within the period from on 
or about September 24 to on or about October 15, 1940, from the State of South 
Dakota into the State of Pennsylvania of quantities of butter that was adulter- 
ated. The article was labeled in part: "Armour's Cloverbloom Trade Mark 
Butter."
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 April 25, 1941, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the de- 
fendant, the court imposed a fine of $150.
