21730. Adulteration of   butter.      U.    S.   v.   Joe    S.   Mcllbaney   (Mcllbaney
Creamery Co.). Plea of guilty. Fine, $25. (F. & D. no. 30165. 
Sample no. 12021-A.)
This case was based on a shipment of butter, samples of which were found 
to contain less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat, the standard for butter 
established by Congress.
On August 18, 1933, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Joe S. McUhaney, trading as McUhaney 
Creamery Co., Lubbock, Tex., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act. on or about July 21, 1932, from the State of Texas 
into the State of New York, of an article of food, butter, which was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
a product containing less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been sub- 
stituted for butter, a product which should contain not less than 80 percent 
of milk fat as provided by the act of March 4, 1923.
On December 11, 1933, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on 
behalf of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $25.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
