26458. Adulteration of butter.     U. S. v. 1,832 Pounds of Butter.     Consent decree
of   condemnation   and   destruction.     (F.   &   D.   no.   88365.    Sample   no. 
15758-C.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of butter that contained maggots 
and flies.
On September 17, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Georgia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 1,832 pounds of 
butter at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about September 15, 1936, by the Rosemary Creamery, of 
Atlanta, Ga., in its own truck, from Fort Payne, Ala., and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy and decomposed animal substance.
On September 18, 1936, the Rosemary Creamery having consented to the 
entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered 
that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
