23924. Adulteration of butter.    IT. S. v. 1 Tub of Butter.    Default decree of
condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   no.   33190.    Sample   no. 
4701-B.)
Samples of butter taken from the shipment involved in this case were found 
to contain maggots, insects, animal hair, mold, and other filth.
On July 9, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 1 tub of butter at Baltimore, 
Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce, on 
or about July 6, 1934, by Newberry Bros., of Bland, Va., from Bluefleld, 
W. Va., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act 
The article was labeled in part: (Tag) " Newberry Bros. Bland, Va."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On August 17, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and destruction of the product was ordered.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
