I just opened a can of Dole Pineapple Chunks and ate a few and put them in
a glass 2-cup pyrex in the refrigerator for later.
Then before throwing the can in the waste basket, noticing that the cans
are still not white-coated, I smelled the can and it smelled like 2-1/2
day-old FISH! OMG, husband confirming smell -- yuk!

Did you rinse the can INSTANTLY after moving the contents to another
container? If not, how long did you wait?

And: Have to contacted Dole about this? If not, why not?

No, I haven't contacted Dole -- perhaps I should find the 800 number and
call them.
No, I didn't rinse the container. I'm watching my stomach. You're right. I
will call. Thanks for the urge.

I tried to call, but they are closed until 11 my time (1 hour from now). I
did notice when I looked for the phone number on the can that it is a
product of Thailand.
Thanks again,
Dee

Although you MAY have a bad can of product, pineapple juice residue DOES get
strange when exposed to air AND remains in contact with the metal of the
can. Especially in warm weather, like any food residue.

Believe it or not it's your very own personal olfactory sense that is
responsible for you perceiving what seems to be a pisciferous
redolence... you're mostly smelling the metal can, not the pineapple.
When you cut into the metal lid, due to the intimate proximity of
acerbic pineapple, ions are immediately released that affect your
particular ability to perceive pineapple aroma acurately... it's kinda
like how when some eat asparagus their pee stinks. The pineapple you
poured into the bowl doesn't stink like old fish... throw away the can.
Some people can't handle pocket change before they eat, especially
pennies, if they do their food has a metalic taste no matter what they
eat. For some wearing a copper bracelet will cause them to experience
a powerful metalic/sour taste when they smoke tobacco, kinda like when
you touch your tongue to the positive end of a dry cell battery. There
are all sorts of things that alter all ones sensory perceptions,
fortunately we are so conditioned to most that we suffer no suprise...
like how turning off the lights at night affects vision. The odor you
perceived shocked your senses the same as would someone who has never
experienced darkness were suddenly to step out into the night. People
who work in pineapple canning plants no longer notice that fish smell,
at least they don't after a few minutes each time they first enter.
Long ago I worked in a world famous chocolate kitchen (Barton's). Each
day when I'd enter the odor of chocolate was so powerful I could barely
tolerate it (I love chocolate but that concentrated odor was awful),
but after ten minutes passed I could have been working in a meat market
for all the chocolate aroma I was able to perceive, adn if you can't
smell chocolate than you can't taste chocolate. It was no wonder the
company permittred their employees to eat all the chocolate they wanted
while at work, just couldn't take any out, after the first couple of
days on the job no one ate any.

Thanks for the info, Sheldon. I do know what you mean. Pineapple out of a
can is not exactly the smell of fresh pineapple and I always remove it from
the can and immediately put it in a pyrex glass 2-cupper for that reason.
Today my spouse and I both tasted a fishy taste in our small bowl of
pineapple and it tasted a bit 'off' as well, and that was the reason I went
to the can and smelled it, and Yikes, we both smelled the fishy smell in the
can -- but not so obvious in the bowl.

I just hung up from Pineapple Customer Service (they took the ID of the can,
etc.) and when I inquired about white cans for pineapple, they gave me their
scientific explanation as to why only vegetables were put in white cans.

I am one of those people who do have a nose/taste reaction to metal and
perhaps it was this reaction, but if so, it was much, much stronger today
(for both of us). Some think it silly of me to say that when I'm on the
phone I get a coughing fit because I'm allergic to the nickel in the phone -
whether it is nickel or some other metal, I know not.

Cloyed by Chocolate by nose, heh? Yes, I believe that.

I can think of some other things I touch my tongue to that feels like
the positive end of a dry cell battery...
