1087. Adulteration of butter.     U.  S. v. 58  Cases  of Butter.     Default decree of
condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 2370.    Sample No. 20106-E.)
Samples of this product were found to contain mold, rodent hairs, and other 
filth.
On July 8, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Georgia filed a libel against 58 cases of butter at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 12 and June 
19, 1940, by Mountain Valley Cooperative, Inc., from Brasstown, N. C.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
decomposed and filthy substance. The article was labeled in part: "Kingan's 
Reliable   *    *    *   Butter, Kingan & Co. General Offices, Indianapolis, Ind."
On August 5, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
