1764. Adulteration of canned rhubarb.    U.  S. v. 67 Cases of Canned Rhubarb.
Default decree  of condemnation and destruction.     (F.  D.   C.  No.  3776. 
Sample No. 65344-E.)
The interiors of the cans containing this product were badly corroded, and 
pieces of enamel were mixed with the contents.
On February 5, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Texas filed a libel against 67 cases of canned rhubarb at El Paso* Tex., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about August 
16, 1940, by the Kansas City Wholesale Grocery from Kansas City, Mo.; and 
charging that it was adulterated in that it was unfit for food. The article was 
labeled in part: (Cans) "Rhubarb in Syrup * * * Packed by Pure Foods 
Corp.    *    *   *   Los Angeles."
On March 28, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
