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.

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.
