2342. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. 52 Cartons of Butter.    Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 5724.    Sample No. 62428-E.)
On August 19, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Illinois filed a libel against 52 cartons of butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the 
article had been shipped on or about August 13, 1941, by Community Creamery 
Go. from Carthage, Mo.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance. The 
article was labeled in part: "Creamery Butter S. C. Borden Co. * * * Dis- 
tributors."
On October 15, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
