(F. D. C. No. 2506.   Sample Nos. 30522-E, 30527-E.)
On or about July 18, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois filed a libel against 96 tubs of butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 7, 1940, by 
Saline County Milk Producers Association from Marshall, Mo.; and charging 
that it was adulterated in that a product containing less than 80 percent by 
weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. The article was labeled in 
part: "S. C. Borden Co. Chicago, Distributor."
On July 22, 1940, the Saline County Milk Producers Association, 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 reworked so as to contain at least 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
