On January 4, 1943, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
California filed a libel against 58 cartons, each containing 30 retail packages, of 
butter at Long Beach, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about December 28,1942, by the Mountain States Creamery 
from Salt Lake City, Utah; and charging that it was misbranded. The article 
was labeled in part: (Retail cartons) "One Pound Net Mountain View Brand 
Creamery Butter Distributed by Mountain View Dairies, Inc., Long Beach-Los 
Angeles Calif."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the prints did not contain 1 
pound net as labeled.
On January 12, 1943, the Mountain States Creamery having appeared as claim- 
ant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the.product was ordered released under bond to be brought 
into compliance with the law under the supervision of the Food and Drug 
Administration.
