24980. Adulteration of butter.     U. S. v. 14 Tubs and 16 Tubs of Butter.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. no. 35713.    Sample 
nos. 22601-B, 22611-B.)
This case involved shipments of butter samples of which were found to 
contain mold and other extraneous matter.
On June 4, 1935, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 29 tubs of butter 
at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about May 19 and May 26, 1935, by the Oxford Creamery Co.,
from Oxford, Miss., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On August 15, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
