2365. Adulteration of butter.    IT. S. v. Edward A. Best and Isabel J. Best  (Best
Bros. Creamery).    Pleas of nolo contendere.    Fines, $200;     (P.'D. C. No.
4135.    Sample No. 8301-E.)
On June 4, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Michigan filed an information against Edward A. Best and Isabel J. Best, 
copartners, trading as Best Bros. Creamery at Iron Mountain, Mich., alleging 
shipment by said defendants on or about January. 22, 1941, from the State of 
Michigan into the State of Wisconsin of a quantity of butter that was adul* 
terated. It was labeled in part: "Best's Creamery Butter * * * Distrib- 
uted By Lauerihan Brothers Co. Marinette, Wis.    Oconto, Wis."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk 
fat, had been in part omitted therefrom; and in that a product which contained 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On October 7, 1941, the defendants having entered pleas of nolo contendere, 
the court imposed a fine of $100 against each.    .,.;    ' ,'.    ;  v.,       ';! '
