1442. Adulteration of butter.    V. S. v. 14 63-pound Cubes of Butter.    Consent
decree  of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond to be 
reworked.    (F. D. C. No. 3919.   Sample No. 43871-E.)
On or about February 26, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Missouri filed a libel against 14 cubes of butter at Kansas City, Mo., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
May 27, 1940, by the Olathe Creamery & Produce Co. from Olathe, Kans.; and 
charging that it was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, butter- 
fat, had been in whole or in part abstracted therefrom; and in that a product
containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for 
butter.
On February 27, 1941, the Olathe Creamery & Produce Co., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered, 
and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be brought 
into compliance with the law.   The butter was reworked to the legal standard.
