25724. Adulteration of cheese.     IT. S. v. 1 Wheel of Swiss Cheese.     Default de¬
cree of condemnation and destruction. (F. & D. no. 37179. Sample no.. 
55653-B.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of so-called Swiss cheese that was 
deficient in fat.
On February 11, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one wheel of so-called 
Swiss cheese at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about January 2, 1936, by the Ackerman-Abplanalp 
Co., from Monroe, Wis., and that it was adulterated in violation, of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance deficient in fat 
had been substituted in whole or in part for the article.
On April 3, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
