SaysWho? Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/22/bumble-bee-files-for-bankruptcy.html Quote Tuna maker Bumble Bee Foods said Thursday that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, with an agreement from Taiwan-based FCF Fishery, its largest creditor, to purchase its assets for roughly $925 million. The bankruptcy proceedings are meant to reduce Bumble Bee’s debt burden caused by “recent and significant legal challenges” and help facilitate the sale. In 2017, the company pleaded guilty for price-fixing and was fined $25 million for forming a cartel with Chicken of the Sea and Starkist. It still owes $17 million to the U.S. Department of Justice, according to its bankruptcy filing. Quote Bumble Bee is also facing civil lawsuits related to price-fixing. Earlier this year, the company confidentially settled with Sysco and U.S. Foods. In addition to its legal troubles, Bumble Bee is grappling with the declining popularity of packaged tuna. Consumption of canned tuna has dropped 42% per capita from the last 30 years through 2016, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data.

Anathema- Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I do like tuna but for whatever reason don't think to get it as much. Maybe because tuna in a pouch is so much more expensive than the canned stuff and the cans are very inconvenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenVectron Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I once at an entire can of tuna (inside tuna sandwiches) when I had a stomach flu (I didn't know I was going to be sick when I ate the sandwiches). I violently threw up the tuna through my mouth and nose, and haven't had any since. I think that was 6 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I want to eat my favorite tuna salad more often, but it just has too many calories. I usually get Chicken of the Sea lately because that's what they have at Costco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I loved to make canned tuna spreads with some crackers when I was a kid. Don’t think I’ve had canned tuna in 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Before I was vegan I couldn’t eat canned tuna. I hate the smell out of the can and when I was young my mom made tuna sandwiches for my school lunch and I got sick of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Tuna is great, either canned, in a pouch, or steaks. I usually just get the pouch herb and garlic seasoned. I can’t stand stuff like tuna salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
