2668. Adulteration of butter. U. S. v. 89 Tubs of Butter. Consent decree of con- 
demnation. Product ordered released under bond to be denatured for 
use as soap stock.   (F. D. C. No. 6143.   Sample No. 56986-E.)
On October 21, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York filed a libel against 89 tubs of butter at New York, N. Y., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 
14, 1941, by the Valley Creamery, Inc., from Harrisonburg, Va.; 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 Dis- 
tributed by J. It. Kramer, Inc."
On November 3, 1941, the Valley Creamery, Inc., 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 denatured for 
use as soap stock.
Nos. 2664 to 2676 report actions based on interstate shipments of butter 
that was found to be deficient in milk fat.
