They got dat no sugar added kind, ya know!

For sure. Substitute for an artificial sugar. Read the labels or die trying.

Move on, nothing to see here. Filing to restructure some big debt. Our favorite POTUS has done this a few times and he considers it a wise finanicial play.

This is a pretty big deal…

This isn't the parent organization as your title would indicate.

Del Monte Chilled Fruit Snacks, LLC manufactures and distributes refrigerated fruit snack products under the Del Monte brand. The company specializes in ready-to-eat fruit cups, fruit parfaits, and other chilled fruit products that require refrigeration. As a subsidiary of Del Monte Foods, they are part of one of the largest producers of fruit and vegetable products in the United States, operating from their principal place of business in Walnut Creek, California.

The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on July 1, 2025, in the District of New Jersey alongside 17 affiliated Del Monte entities, including Del Monte Foods Corporation II Inc., Del Monte Foods Holdings Limited, and Del Monte Foods, Inc. The filing shows substantial financial obligations with assets estimated between $500 million and $1 billion and liabilities between $1 billion and $10 billion.

The bankruptcy appears to be part of a broader restructuring of the Del Monte Foods business operations. The company's filing indicates they have between 10,001-25,000 creditors, with funds expected to be available for distribution to unsecured creditors. Top creditors include Seneca Foods, owed approximately $19.9 million, and Transplace Texas LP, owed about $9 million, primarily for trade payables.

Even that I’m shocked their fruit cup hustle is going bankrupt considering it more or less lacks all nutrients by the time the customer has the product.

It would be one thing if we held the corporation to a standard of high quality and nutrient dense products you mean to tell me they are bankrupt serving a shite product?
