3701. Adulteration and misbranding of Cheddar cheese.   IT. S. v. Kadane Cream¬
ery Co. and Sheffie A. Kadane.   Pleas of guilty.   Fines, $100.    (F. D. C. No. 
6459.   Sample No. 49612-B.)
This product was higher in moisture and its solids contained less milk fat 
than required by the definition and standard of identity for Cheddar cheese.
On May 23, 1942, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Texas filed an information against Kadane Creamery Co., Dallas, Tex., and 
\ Sheffie A. Kadane, alleging shipment on or about May 19, 1941, from the State 
/ of Texas into the State of Louisiana of a quantity of Cheddar cheese which was 
adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Armour's Cloverbloom 
American Cheddar Cheese Armour Creameries. Distributors. Gent Office Chi- 
cago, Ill." The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing mois- 
ture in excess of 39 percent and the solids of which contained less than 50 per- 
cent of milk fat, had been substituted for Cheddar cheese, a product which 
should contain not more than 39 percent of moisture and the solids of which 
should contain not less than 50 percent of milk fat.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that it purported to be and was represented 
as Cheddar cheese, a food for which a definition and standard of identity had 
been prescribed by regulations, as provided by law, but it failed to conform to 
such definition and standard.
On July 6, 1942, a plea of guilty having been entered, the court imposed a 
fine of $50 against each defendant, totaling $100.
