A fully independent company, Fresh Del Monte is unaffected by the recent legal and financial matters involving Del Monte Foods Inc.

Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. (NYSE:FDP) is a fully independent, publicly traded company with no financial or operational affiliation with Del Monte Foods Inc., a separate entity currently involved in litigation and bankruptcy proceedings.

The two companies are entirely separate entities, with no shared ownership, governance, or operations. Del Monte Foods Inc. is a privately held U.S. company owned by a parent organization based in Singapore. Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc.'s financial or operational performance is not impacted by that separate, unaffiliated company's announced legal or financial proceedings.

While both businesses share rights to the Del Monte® name through historical licensing arrangements, they operate under distinct ownership and serve different geographic markets.

Fresh Del Monte continues to operate with full stability and focus. The company remains financially strong, strategically aligned, and committed to delivering long-term value. It will report second quarter 2025 results during its scheduled earnings call on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.

Fresh Del Monte is a global leader in fresh and fresh-cut produce:

  • Headquartered in Coral Gables, FL, with operations in over 90 countries.
  • The global leader in pineapple innovation.
  • Owner of the Del Monte® brand for prepared food products in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
  • Del Monte Foods Inc. — a different company with no affiliation to Fresh Del Monte — holds the rights to the Del Monte® brand for prepared food products in the U.S. It does not have rights to fresh or fresh-cut fruit.

Customers, suppliers, and partners can remain confident in the continuity of Fresh Del Monte's operations and its commitment to delivering high-quality, Del Monte®-branded products, services, and trusted support.
