29174. Misbranding of butter. U. S. v. Capitol Hill Creamery Co. Plea of guilty. Fine, $25. (F. & D. No. 40831. Sample No. 39836-C.) This product was short weight. On May 27,1938, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court an infor- mation against the Capitol Hill Creamery Co., a corporation, Denver, Colo., al- leging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act on or about September 15, 1937, from the State of Colorado into the State of Wyoming of a quantity of butter that was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: "Capitol Hill Butter The Capitol Hill Creamery Co., Denver, Colo." It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the label, "One Pound," was false and misleading and was borne on the label so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser since it represented that each of the packages con- tained 1 pound of the article; whereas each of the packages did not contain 1 pound of the article but did contain a less amount. On June 21,1938, a plea of guilty having been entered in behalf of the defend- ant, the court imposed a fine of $25. HAEET L. BEOWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
