2790. Adulteration of oleomargarine.    U. S. v. 74 Cases, 52 Cases, 07 Cases, and
32 Cases of Oleomargarine. Product adjudged adulterated and ordered 
delivered to local charitable institutions. (F. D. C. Nos. 30&1, 3070. 
Sample Nos. 16159-B to 16161-B, incl., 16165-E.)
This product contained less fat and more moisture than oleomargarine should 
contain.
On or about September 21 and 25, 1940, the United States attorney for the 
Western District of Missouri filed libels against 255 cases, each containing 30 
1-pound cartons, of oleomargarine at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 21, 1940, 
by Standard Margarine Co., Inc., from Indianapolis, Ind.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that a substance deficient in fat and containing excessive 
moisture had been substituted wholly or in part therefor. The article was 
labeled in part: "Brednut * * * Oleomargarine," "Gold Dot Margarine," 
"Peerless Brand Oleomargarine," or "O Margie Margarine."
No claimant appeared in either action. On November 5, 1940, 32 cases were 
adjudged adulterated as alleged in the libel and ordered delivered to a local 
charitable institution since the product was fit for human consumption. On 
December 10, 1940 (amended May 28, 1941), judgment of condemnation was 
entered with respect to the remainder of the product and it was also delivered 
to a charitable Institution.
