1557. Misbranding of butter.     TJ.  S. v.  6  Boxes  of Butter.    Default decree  of
condemnation.     Product   ordered   delivered   to   a   Federal   institution.
(F. D. C. No. 4220.     Sample No. 60059-E.)
This product was short of the declared weight.
On March 14, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 6 boxes of butter at Raymond, Wash., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 11, 
1941, by Swift & Co. from Portland, Oreg.; and charging that it was mis- 
branded.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Goldcrest 
Creamery Butter One Pound Net Weight," was false and misleading since the 
prints contained less than 1 pound net weight of butter. It was alleged 
to be misbranded further in that it was in package form and did not bear an 
accurate statement of the quantity of the contents in terms of weight.
On April 24, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a Federal penal insti- 
tution.
