3873. Adulteration of butter.    TJ. S. v. 32S Boxes of butter.    Default decree of
condemnation.    Product ordered sold to a commercial concern for use 
for defense purposes.    (F. D. C. No. 7975.    Sample No. 4501-F.)
On July 9, 1942, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Indiana filed a libel against 325 63-pound boxes of butter at Indianapolis, Ind., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
June 29, 1942, by the Patton Creamery Co. from Springfield, Mo.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, 
putrid, or decomposed substance, or was otherwise unfit for food.
On August 28, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered sold to be rendered into inedible 
grease and disposed of for defense purposes.
