1546. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Albert C. Hepworth  (Boundary Cream¬
ery).    Plea   of   guilty.    Fine,   $80.     (F.   D.   C.   No.   2860.    Sample   Nos. 
13923-E, 13924-E.)
On November 18, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho 
filed an information against Albert C. Hepworth, trading as .Boundary Creamery 
at Bonners Ferry, Idaho, alleging shipment on or about April 1 and 8, 1940, 
from the State of Idaho into the State of Washington of quantities of butter 
that was adulterated. The article was labeled in part: "Butter J. S. Griffiths 
Co. Seattle, Wt."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, 
had been in part omitted therefrom; and in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On May 26, 1941, the defendant having entered a plea of guilty, the court 
imposed a fine of $30.
