2167. Adulteration and misbranding of butter.    U.  S. v. 11  Cartons of Butter.
Decree of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond.     (F. D. C.
No. 5001.    Sample No. 54117-E.)
On June 13, 1941, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Pennsylvania filed a libel against 11 cartons, each containing 60 pounds, of butter 
at Philadelphia, Pa.., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
June 4, 1941, by Anderson Creamery Co. from Litchfield, Minn.; and charging 
that it was adulterated and misbranded.
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 it was labeled "Butter," which was false and 
misleading since it contained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
On June 25, 1941, C. G. Heyd & Co., Philadelphia, Pa., having appeared as 
claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
released under bond conditioned that it be made to conform to the law under the 
supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
