2165. Adulteration   and misbranding of  butter.    U.   S.   v.   6   Cubes   of  Butter.
Consent decree of condemnation.    Product ordered released under bond 
to be reworked.     (F. D. C. No. 5131.    'Sample No. 60818-B.)
On June 25,1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of Wash- 
ington filed a libel against 6 68-pound cubes of butter at Seattle, Wash., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce by the Alpine Creamery 
Co., on or about June 19, 1941, from Burns, Oreg.; and charging that it was 
adulterated and misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Butter J. S. Griffiths Co. 
Seattle Wt."
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 July 2, 1941, Alpine Creamery Co., claimant, having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product 
was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be reconditioned under 
the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration so that it comply with 
the law.
