Calavo Salsa Lisa

On April 1, 2023, we completed the divesture of our salsa business in our Prepared segment. This divestiture and the below described restructuring are part of a broader set of organizational and strategic initiatives aimed at optimizing our processes, cost structure and how we operate to ensure that we continue to balance growth with profitability in a challenging industry environment marked by cost pressure driven by inflation and other factors.

This divesture resulted in (i) a reduction of our current workforce by approximately 13 employees, and (ii) approximately $0.4 million in writedowns of inventory and approximately $0.2 million on losses on the disposal of certain property plant and equipment.
