1425. Adulteration and misbranding of butter.    IT. S. v. Paul Sorensen (Kimball
Creamery).    Plea of guilty.    Fine, $150.    (F. D. C. No. 2910.    Sample Nos. 
6797-B, 44470-E.)
A portion of this product was short weight as well as low in milk fat.
On April 14, 1941, the United, States attorney, for the District of Nebraska 
filed an information against Paul Sorensen, trading as Kimball Creamery at 
Kimball, Nebr., alleging shipment on or about September 11 and November 8, 
1940, from the State of Nebraska into the State of Wyoming of quantities of 
butter that was adulterated and a part of which was also misbranded. The 
article was labeled in part: "1 pound Net. Sheaf fer's Creamery Butter * * * 
Laramie, Wyoming."
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.
The article in one shipment was alleged to be misbranded in that the state- 
ments "1 pound Net" and "1 Lb.," appearing on the cartons, were false and 
misleading since the cartons contained less than 1 pound of butter; and in that 
the article was in package form and its label did not bear an accurate statement 
of the quantity of the contents in terms of weight
On May 13, 1941, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court imposed 
a fine of $150.
