Amy’s Kitchen closes in San Jose

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — Hundreds of persons are about to reduce their work in the South Bay. Amy’s Kitchen area is shutting down its San Jose frozen meals plant – much less than two years considering the fact that opening. 

The vegetarian and natural and organic frozen-food items business claims they only really don’t have enough money to keep open up. Amy’s Kitchen claims this meals manufacturing facility is dropping $1 million bucks a month, and they can’t conquer present-day economic hurdles.

Resources notify KRON4 that employees are no for a longer period in the building, and now it is just senior administration clearing out the companies’ possessions. A represenative was not offered for an interview but in a statement the enterprise states the plant on Las Plumas Avenue opened in 2021 soon after desire for their pizzas skyrocketed. The organization claims they opened this factory to meet up with buyer demand from customers.

But now the corporation claims a restricted labor marketplace, inflation, source-chain difficulties, and the War in Ukraine enhanced raw substance prices. Amy’s suggests the charge of sunflower oil made use of in many of their foods enhanced by 125 percent. 

The corporation says they will retain their 3 other food processing plants open up, but the reported 300 individuals who worked right here will have to find one more task.
