The 138-year-old company, Del Monte Foods, has filed for bankruptcy, the company said in a statement. "After a thorough evaluation of all available options, we determined a court-supervised sale process is the most effective way to accelerate our turnaround and create a stronger and enduring Del Monte Foods," said President and CEO Greg Longstreet. The company calls itself "The Original Plant-Based Food Company" and makes a variety of canned fruits and vegetables. In addition to the name brand Del Monte, the company produces Contadina canned tomatoes and broths from College Inn. Del Monte is based in Walnut Creek, California.
