On or about June 30, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 97 boxes, each containing 32 1-pound prints, of but- 
ter at Jersey City, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about June 4, 1943, by the Hunter-Walton Co. from New 
York, N. Y.; and charging that it was adulterated in that a product containing 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. The 
article was labeled in part: (Prints) "Waverly Brand Creamery Butter * * * 
Manufactured By Waverly Butter & Egg Co. Waverly, N. Y."
On July 21, 1943, the Waverly Butter & Egg Co., Inc., claimant, having admit- 
ted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the 
product was ordered released under bond for reworking under the supervision 
of the Food & Drug Administration.
