(F. D. C. No. 2023.     Sample No. 10965-E.)
On May 15, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 10 tubs of butter at New York, N. Y., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 7, 
1940, by Hillman Creamery from Lennox, S. Dak.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that a product which contained less than 80 percent by weight 
of milk fat had been substituted for butter. It was labeled in part: "Gude 
Bros. Keiffer Co.    *    *    *    New York."
On May 31, 1940, Hillman Creamery, claimant, having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was1 ordered 
that the product be released under bond conditioned that it be reworked so 
that it contain at least 80 percent of butterfat.
