22164. Adulteration of butter.    TJ. S. v. 10 Tubs of Butter.    Consent decree
of condemnation and forfeiture.    Product released under bond.
(F. & D. no. 32357.   Sample no. 66082-A.)
This case involved a shipment of butter which was low in milk fat.
On February 15, 1934, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 10 tubs of butter at 
New York, N.Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com-
merce, on or about February 3, 1934, by the Roslyn Creamery Co., of Roslyn, 
S.Dak., in pool car shipment from Moose Lake, Minn., and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that a product 
containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for 
butter, a product which should contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat as 
provided by the act of March 4, 1923.
On February 16, 1934, the Roslyn Creamery Co., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be released to the claimant upon payment of costs and 
the execution of a bond in the sum of $200, conditioned that it be reworked so 
that it contain at least 80 percent of butterfat
