Del Monte Foods to Close Vegetable Production Plant
Time has run out for the more than 300 workers at a vegetable production and canning facility in Sampson County that was acquired by Del Monte Foods in 2015.
Del Monte has announced intentions to close the plant near the town of Turkey by Sept. 1, impacting 230 full-time employees and 92 seasonal workers, according to a WARN notice filed with the state Department of Commerce.
It’s the second time in two and a half years that the plant was threatened with closure. The Turkey plant, which is about 70 miles south of Raleigh, NC, has been in operation since 1991.
