A dominant name in the realm of seafood, Bumble Bee Foods, with its recognizable logo, has been a fixture in American pantries for over a century. The company, established in 1899, has been celebrated for its wide range of seafood products, especially its canned tuna, aligning with many family recipes across generations.
However, the tides of ownership took a turn in 2019 when Bumble Bee Foods filed for bankruptcy, leading to a pivotal change. FCF Co., a Taiwanese tuna supply chain company, stepped in, acquiring Bumble Bee for approximately $928 million.
