2382. Adulteration and misbranding of butter.    TJ. S. v. 5 Cartons and 1 Carton
of Butter.     Consent decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C.
No. 5707.   Sample No. 43384-E.) 
;
On July 28, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Kansas filed 
a libel against 5 cartons each containing 20 1-pound rolls, and 1 carton contain- 
ing 15 1-pound rolls of butter at Kansas City, Kans., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 20 and 22, 1941, 
by the Kroger Grocery & Baking Co. from North Kansas City, Mo.; and charg- 
ing that it was adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: (Roll 
wrapper)    "Kroger's Country Club Quality Brand Roll Creamery Butter."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk 
fat, had been in whole or in part omitted or abstracted therefrom; and in 
that an article containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been 
substituted wholly or in part for butter. It was alleged to be misbranded 
in that it was labeled "Butter," but it was not butter as required by law.
On September 12, 1941, the claimant having admitted the allegations of 
the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
destroyed.
