of guilty.   Fine, $20.    (F. D. C. No. 2121.   Sample No. 33252-E.)
On January 21, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota 
filed an information against the Northrop Cooperative Creamery Co., a corpora- 
tion Northrop, Minn., alleging shipment on or about May 14, 1940, from the 
:e
of Minnesbta intothe"STate of New York of a quantity of butter that 
was adulterated. The article was labeled in part: "Sunnyfield A & P Butter 
The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co."
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 January 21, 1941, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $20.
