On May 29, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed a libel against 9 cartons of butter at Jersey City, N. J., alleging -that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 14, 1940, 
by the Maple Island Farms of Stillwater, Wis., from Emerald, Wis; and charg- 
ing that it was adulterated and misbranded. The article was labeled in part: 
"June Dairy Products Co., Inc. Distributors    *    *    *   Butter."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. It was 
alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Butter" was false and mis- 
leading since it contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On December 26, 1940, June Dairy Products Co., Inc., claimant, having ad- 
mitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and 
it was ordered that the product be released under bond conditioned that it be 
reworked so that it contain at least 80 percent of milk fat.
