1256. Adulteration of butter.    IT. S. v. 10 Boxes of Cube Butter.    Consent decree
of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond to be converted 
into refined butter oil.     (F. D. C. No. 3020.    Sample No. 30560-E.)
On or about August 27, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern 
District of Illinois filed a libel against 10 boxes of cube butter at Chicago, Ill., 
alleging that the article had \been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
August 16, 1940, by the Fort Madison Creamery from Fort Madison, Iowa; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance. The article was labeled in part: "Butter 
Distributed by Beatrice Creamery Co.    *    *    *    Chicago, Ill."
On January 31, 1941, the Beatrice Creamery Co., 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 converted into 
refined butter oil. On February 28, 1941, the decree was amended to permit 
reconditioning at Chicago, Ill., instead of at Atlanta, Ga. as provided in the 
original decree.
