1423. Adulteration of butter.   U. S. v. Harvey L. Peterson (Galva Creamery Co.).
Plea of guilty.    Fine, ?50 and costs.    (F. D. C. No. 2847.    Sample. Nos. 
89420-D, 4896-B.)
On January 4, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri filed an information against Harvey L. Peterson, trading as Galva 
Creamery Co. at Kansas City, Mo., alleging shipment on or about February 17 
and May 11, 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 Marwyn Dairy Prod's Corp. Chicago, Ill., Distributors."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, had 
been in part omitted therefrom; and in that a product containing less than 80 
percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On February 21, 1941, a plea of guilty having been entered by the defendant, 
the court imposed a fine of $50 and costs.
