727. Adulteration of packing stock butter.    U. S. v. 1 Drum of Packing Stock
Butter.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No.
2680.    Sample No. 28438-E.)
Samples of this product were found to contain various types of filth such as 
maggots, cow hairs, rodent hairs, insects, fragments of insects, and nondescript 
dirt.
On August 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland 
filed a libel against 1 drum of butter at Baltimore, Md., alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 13, 1940, by J. W. 
Bell from Shelby, N. C.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance and was otherwise unfit for food.
On October 3, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
