LABEL IN PART:    (Cartons) "One Pound Net Hy-Klas Brand Butter."

(b) (2), a product containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had 
been substituted for butter.
Misbranding (portion), Section 403 (e) (2), the article was in package form,

on behalf of the defendant, a fine of $15 on each of 3 counts, a total of $45, was
