14500.  Misbranding of Butter.    U.  S. v. 1  Case  of Butter.     Decree  of con- 
demnation and forfeiture.     Product released under bond.     (F. & D.
No. 21081.    I. S. No. 10681-x.    S. No. W-1968.)
On April 17, 1926, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 1 case of butter, remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been prepared for shipment in 
interstate commerce, by Swift & Co., Seattle, Wash., from the State of Washing- 
ton into the Territory of Alaska, and charging misbranding in violation of the 
food and drugs act as amended. The article was labeled in part:' (Package) 
"Brookfield Creamery Butter 1 Lb. Net Weight Distributed By Swift & Com- 
pany." 
,:
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it was 
food in package form and the quantity of the contents was not plainly and 
conspicuously marked on the outside of the package. 
On May 10, 1926, Swift & Co. having appeared as claimant for the property 
and having admitted the allegations of the libel and paid the costs of the pro- 
ceedings, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be released to the said claimant upon the deposit of a 
certified check in the sum of $50, to insure that it be reconditioned and relabeled 
under the supervision of this department.
