This product contained mold.
On or about September 4, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Tennessee filed a libel against 128 pounds of butter at Johnson 
City, Tenn., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about August 19, 1940, by the Southern Maid Dairies, Inc., from Bristol, 
Va.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance, or was otherwise unfit for 
food.   The article was labeled in part: "Southern Maid Creamery Butter."
On or about December 14, 1940, no defense having been made to the action, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
