Chiquita brands International said Wednesday it has agreed to a $25 million fine after admitting it paid terrorists for protection in a volatile farming region of Colombia.
BOYCOTT ALL CHIQUITA BRANDS! The company grows, procures, markets, and distributes bananas and other fresh fruits and vegetables under the premium Chiquita brand. Its products are sold in some 70 countries worldwide. Bananas account for approximately 50% of Chiquita’s total sales; other products include whole citrus fruits, melons, grapes, apples, and tomatoes, as well as fresh-cut items and processed fruit ingredients. Chiquita has completed its acquisition of the Fresh Express unit of Performance Food Group; Fresh Express is the leading seller of packaged salads in the US.
.(above from hoovers.com) I am wrting US District Attorney Alberto Gonzales ,Homeland Security and the FDA. Why was no one indicted under some federal law?
NJ–lol. I was worried abut that too, but it was the only US DA attorney I knew of that still had a job….for now..
s t – i would say an apple a day but since Chiquita produces those, too–how about Sunmaid Raisins instead? Also, DON’T BUY ANY FRESH EXPRESS PACKAGED SALADS!! (chiquita owns that, too)

A Halliburton Subsidiary is Building Bases in IRAN
FORD is building cars in NORTH KOREA
it’s all about the bottom line dearie. you’d be boycotting almost everything if you knew what big businesses were up to.
I was flabbergasted when I read this, I had to read it again. Who knows if they (the terrorists) up- the $ amount, and Chiquita doesn’t pay it, does that mean they will inject all of our bananas?
Right now I’m not sure if we can contact US District Attorney Alberto Gonzales, I think he’s kinda busy, isn’t he..
What a mess!
An alternative to write off bananas and banana and am told banana day keeps both the terrorist away seriously give me an alternative to the banana and the terrorist away seriously give me an alternative to write off bananas and would go along.
For anything passing for factual.
My favorite snack.
And your surprised?? a lot of stuff bought in north america and other countrys has a protection paid to manufacture, someone at or doing busness with Chiquita is making a mess and costing us more now…
For being bananas are you turning yellow if not dont worry.
