22925. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. 5 Barrels and 5 Tierces of Butter.
Default   decree    of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and    destruction.
(F. & D. no. 81898.    Sample nos. 51965-A, 66021-A.)
This case involved shipments of butter that contained mold and miscella- 
neous filth.
On January 15, 1934, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 5 barrels and 
5 tierces of butter at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce, in various lots, on or about May 15, May 
18, and May 23, 1933 by N. J. Snook, from Hagerstown, Md., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The libel alleged that the article was adulterated in that it consisted wholly 
or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On February 10, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation and forfeiture was entered, and destruction of the product was ordered.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
