The company did not respond to questions about why the plant was closing when approached. However a spokesperson told just-food ConAgra is “committed to providing benefits and services that will help employees transition from the company or to other manufacturing plants within the company”.
The site was acquired by ConAgra as part of a deal it signed with Sun Capital Partners for Elan Nutrition in 2010. Its primary production was cereal and snack bars.
ConAgra was recently in the news after Maxim Marketing Corporation accused the company and local retailer Trader Joe’s of breaking competition law.
