1436. Adulteration and alleged Misbranding of butter.    U. S. v. 20%  Gases of
Butter.     Consent   decree   of   condemnation.     Product   ordered   released 
under bond.    (F.  D.  C.  No.  3666.    Sample No.  43844-E.)
This product, in addition to being deficient in milk fat, was mislabeled because 
the name of the manufacturer was not correctly stated and the place of manu- 
facture was not given.
On or about January 6, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of 
Kansas filed a libel against 20% cases of butter at Kansas City, Kans., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about December 
19, 1940, by the Emma Creamery Co. from Emma, Mo.; and charging that it 
was adulterated and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Gold Seal 
Pure Cream Butter * * * Churned and Distributed Fresh Daily by Talbot, 
Woods & Co."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, had 
been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom; and in that a sub- 
stance containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted 
wholly or in part for butter.
It was alleged to be misbranded since the name of the manufacturer was not 
correct and the place of manufacture was not given.
On January 4, 1941, Talbot, Woods & Co., of Kansas City, Kans., claimant, 
having admitted that the product was adulterated as alleged in the libel, judg- 
ment was entered finding the product adulterated, and ordering that it be con- 
demned and released under bond conditioned that it be brought into compliance 
with the law.
