Show I LEGAL POUND OF BUTTER DEFINED Under the state law a creamery can mold a "pound" of butter, and It it contains only fifteen ounces and 1b labeled to that effect It is still a legal pound. However, when butter Is labeled sixteen ounces and contains con-tains only fifteen ounces, the state dairy and food department has something some-thing to Bay as a Logan firm will learn today Fred Turner, deputy dairy and food commissioner, with headquarters In Logan, arrived In Salt Lake yesterday yester-day with a "pound" of Logan-made butter. On the official scales of the dairy office It weighed just fifteen ounceB. It was labeled "16 ounces at Ume of packing " Today Mr. Turner will order the firm to relabel all the butter as weighing 15 ounces where the weight is less than a full pound. The state chemist has given as his opinion that butter will not shrink more than half an ounce, but omitting this consideration consid-eration the state food and dairy department de-partment does not recognize the "at time of packing" clause under any consideration. on |
