3914. Adulteration and misbranding of Cheddar cheese.    V. S. v. 13 Boxes and 9
Boxes of Cheddar Cheese.    Default decrees of condemnation and destruc- 
tion.    (F. D. C. Nos. 7105, 7376.    Sample Nos. 76723-E, 76842-E.)
On March 27 and April 21, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Wisconsin filed libels against 22 boxes of Cheddar cheese at New 
Richmond, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about March 12 and March 30, 1942, by the Lawler Cooperative 
Creamery Association from" Lawler, Minn.; and charging that it was adulterated 
and misbranded. It was alleged to be adulterated in that a product deficient in 
milk fat had been substituted wholly or in part for Cheddar cheese, which it 
purported to be. It was alleged to be misbranded in that it purported to be 
Cheddar cheese, a food for which a definition and standard of identity had been 
prescribed by regulations as provided by law, but it. failed to conform to such 
definition and standard since its solids contained less than 50 percent of miik 
fat.
On June 5 and July 17, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgments of 
condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed. •
