20000. Adulteration and Misbranding of butter. IT. S. v. 19 Tubs of Butter. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released under bond to be reworked. (No. 3931-A. F. & D. No. 28487.) This action involved the interstate shipment of a quantity of butter, samples of which were found to contain less than 80 per cent by weight of milk fat, the standard prescribed by Congress. On June 30, 1932, the United States attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 19 tubs of butter, remaining in the original un- broken packages at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 21, 1932, by the Boscobel Creamery Co., from Boscobel, Wis., to Chicago, Ill., and charging adulteration and mis- branding in violation of the food and drugs act. It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that a sub- stance deficient in butterfat had been mixed and packed therewith so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and had been substituted in part for the said article. Adulteration was alleged for the further reason that the article contained less than 80 per cent of butterfat. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the article had been sold, shipped, and labeled as " butter," which was false and misleading, since it contained less than 80 per cent of milk fat. On July 11,1932, C. H. Weaver & Co., Chicago, Ill., claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant for reworking under the supervision of this department, upon payment of costs and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, conditioned in part that it should not be sold or disposed of contrary to law.
