condemnation.     Product   released   under   bond   to   be   reconditioned.
(F. & D. No. 40346.    Sample No. 48011-C.)
This product contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On September 8, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 36 cubes of butter at Denver, Colo., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
July 21, 1937, from Cheyenne, Wyo., having been shipped by the Corbett Ice 
Cream Co., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
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.
On September 14, 1937, the Corbett Ice Cream Co., Cheyenne, Wyo., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be 
brought up to the legal standard under the supervision of this Department.
HARRY L. BEOWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
