2665. Adulteration of butter. U. S. v. Armour & Co. (Armour Creameries). Plea 
of guilty. Fine, $500, (F. D. C. No. 2934. Sample Nos. 20719-E, 20859-E, 
20863-E.)
On February 28, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Georgia filed an information against Armour & Co., a corporation, trading as 
Armour Creameries, at Dublin, Ga., alleging shipment within the period from 
on or about August 20 to on or about September 18, 1940, from the State of 
Georgia into the State of Florida of quantities of butter which was adulterated. 
The article was labeled in part: "Gold Band   *   *    *   Creamery Butter."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, had 
been in part omitted; and in that a product containing less than 80 percent by 
weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On July 8, 1941, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant and 
the court imposed a fine of $500.
