Default decree of destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 3838.    Sample No. 16950-B.)
The interiors of the cans containing this product were partly corroded and 
pieces of enamel had been mixed with the contents.
On February 25, 1941, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Missouri filed a libel against 62 cases of canned rhubarb at Kansas City, Mo., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
January 31 and February 1,1940, by the Pure Foods Corporation of Los Angeles, 
Calif., from Des Moines, Iowa, and Omaha, Nebr.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it was unfit for food.
On April 22,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered ordering 
destruction of the product.
