Santa Barbara Smokehouse sues Agrosuper and AquaChile over salmon supply
Lawsuit filed
The Santa Barbara Smokehouse and DHBrands sued Agrosuper and Empress AquaChile S.A. The complaint alleged that AquaChile's inability to supply washed salmon fillets during the first half of 2019 contributed to a prospective buyer backing out of a purchase of the Smokehouse; it also alleged AquaChile later cut off raw salmon supplies in retribution for an earlier lawsuit. These are allegations reported in the complaint, not established findings.
Source excerpt
In the complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, Santa Barbara alleges that, due to AquaChile’s inability to supply it with “washed” salmon fillets during the first half of 2019, a prospective buyer of The Santa Barbara Smokehouse backed out of purchasing the company.
A United States salmon smoker sued Agrosuper and its AquaChile division, alleging that AquaChile’s breach of contract caused a potential buyer to back out of purchasing the smokehouse.
