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)
