2394. Misbranding of butter.    TJ. S. v. 19 Snipping Containers and 5 Bundles of
Butter.     Consent   decree   of   condemnation.     Product   ordered   released

This product was short of the declared weight.
On November 5, 1941, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Illinois filed a libel against 19 shipping containers each containing 6 
5-pound bundles, and 5 5-pound bundles of butter at Chicago, Ill., alleging 
that the article had been shipped on or about October 27, 1941, by Fountain 
City Creamery from Fountain City, Wis.; and charging that it was misbranded. 
It was labeled in part: "Chiplets   *   *   *    %1b.net."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that its labeling was false and 
misleading since the statement "% lb. net" was incorrect; and in that it was . 
in package form and did not bear a label containing an accurate statement of 
the quantity of the contents.
On November 21, 1941, Maloney, Cunningham & De Vic, Chicago, Ill., claim- 
ant, having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered released under bond for relabeling 
under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
