Pineapple.    Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C.
No. 3408.    Sample No. 16906-E.)  
Examination showed the presence of decomposed fruit in this product.
On November 19, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of Kansas 
filed a libel against 48 cases, each containing 6 No. 10 cans, of crushed pine- 
apple at Hutchinson, Kans., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 8, 1940, by Arthur Serra & Co. from 
Texas City, Tex.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted 
wholly or in part of a decomposed substance. It was labeled in part: "Cuban 
Beauty Brand."
On January 17, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
