(F. D. C. No. 16334.    Sample No. 2764-H.)
LIBEL FILED:   June 6, 1945, Northern District of West Virginia.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about March 23, 1945, by I. H. Nestor, from 
Nashville, Tenn.
PRODUCT: 20 472-pound barrels and 85 95-pound kegs of buttermilk at 
Wardensville, W. Va.
LABEL, IN PART:   "Nesco Brand Buttermilk."
VIOLATIONS CHARGED: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (4), starch had been 
added to the article so as to make it appear better and of greater value 
than it was.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statements on the label, "Nestco Brand 
Butter Milk Equal to Any—Superior to Many Pure Creamery Buttermilk 
Solids 27%—Protein 10%—Fat 2% * * * Condensed to a Semi-Solid 
* * * It is All Pure Buttermilk," were false and misleading since the 
article was not pure condensed buttermilk but contained added starch and 
contained less than the percentage of total solids, protein, and fat declared; 
and, Section 403 (b), the article was offered for sale under the name of 
another food.
DISPOSITION: July 10, 1945. The Nashville Buttermilk Co. having appeared 
as claimant, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was 
ordered released under bond to be reprocessed and relabeled under the 
supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
