1731. Adulteration and misbranding of butter.     U. S. v. 15 Boxes of Print Butter.
Consent  decree   of  condemnation  and destruction.     (F.  D.   C.  No. 4205. 
Sample No. 31683-E.)
This product was short weight as well as deficient in milk fat.
On March 3, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against. 15 boxes of print butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about February 16,
426432°—42 -2
1941, by the Clover Cream Dairy Products Co. from Marshfield, Wis.; and charging 
that it was adulterated and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: 
"Creamery Butter Hawthorn Melody Farms Dairy, Highland Park, Illinois."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, had 
been in whole or in part omitted therefrom, and in that an article containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted in whole or in part for 
butter.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that its labeling was false and 
misleading in that the statements "1 pound Net Weight" and "One Pound," borne 
on the label, were incorrect. It was alleged to be misbranded further in that it 
did not bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity of the 
contents.
On April 9, 1941, the claimant having consented to the entry of a decree, judg- 
ment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
