1418. Adulteration of butter.     U.  S.  v.  Armour &  Co.     Plea  of guilty.     Fine,
$60.    (F. D. C. No. 2923.    Sample Nos. 12528-E, 21003-E, 21014-E.)
On February 13, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho 
filed an information against Armour & Co., a corporation trading as Armour 
Creameries at Pocatello, Idaho, alleging shipment within the period from on or 
about April 30 to on or about June 15, 1940, from the State of Idaho into the 
State of California and the Territory of Hawaii of quantities of butter that was 
adulterated. A portion of the article was labeled in part: "Armour's Star 
Quality Cloverbloom Butter."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, had 
been in part omitted therefrom; and in that a product which contained less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On March 10,1941, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the defend- 
ant, the court imposed a fine of $60.
