1249. Adulteration and misbranding of butter.    TJ.  S. v. 15 Cartons of Butter.
Consent  decree   of  condemnation.    Product  released under  bond to be 
reworked.     (F. D. C. No. 3034.    Sample No. 36096-E.)
On September 7, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts filed a libel against 15 cartons of butter at Somerville, Mass., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 29, 
1940, for the Oak Park Cooperative Creamery, Oak Park, Minn.; and charging 
that it was adulterated.
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. It was 
alleged to be misbranded in that it was labeled "Butter," which was false and 
misleading since it contained less than 80 percent of milk fat.
On September 19, 1940, the Pipestone Produce Co., Somerville, Mass., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was en- 
tered, and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be 
reworked so that it contain at least 80 percent by weight of milk fat.
