This case involved shipments of butter that contained less than 80 percent 
by weight of milk fat.
On September 16, 1935, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Iowa, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the
district court an information against the Albert City Cooperative Creamery 
Association, a corporation, Albert City, Iowa, alleging shipment by said company 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about June 11 and June 19, 1935, 
from the State of Iowa into the State of Illinois, of quantities of butter that was- 
adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat. had been substituted for butter, a product 
which must contain not less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat as required 
by the act of Congress of March 4,1923, which the article purported to be.
On October 15, 1935, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
