537. Adulteration of butter.    U.   S. v.  9  Cubes  of Butter.     Consent decree of
condemnation   and   forfeiture.    Product   ordered   released   under   bond.
(F. D. C. No. 1750.    Sample Nos. 13515-E, 13521-E.)
On March 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against nine cubes of butter at Seattle, Wash., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 14, 
1940, by the Cottonwood Dairy from Cottonwood, Idaho; and charging that it 
was adulterated in that a product containing less than 80 percent by weight of 
milk fat had been substituted for butter. It was labeled in part: "Walter Ely 
Company    *    *    *    Seattle, Wash.    *    *    *   Cottonwood Dairy Products."
On March 26, 1940, the Cottonwood Dairy Products, claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered, and it was 
ordered that the product be released to the claimant under bond conditioned that 
it be brought into conformity with the law under the supervision of the Food 
and Drug Administration.
