Here's everything you need to know about the future of Del Monte Foods.

Del Monte Foods is one of the largest producers of canned and other processed foods in the United States. Since the late 1800s, the company has sold canned fruits and vegetables under the Del Monte name. Whether you purchase canned vegetables or not, you've likely seen the iconic green cans in your local grocery store.

The history of Del Monte dates back more than 135 years, with the introduction of the Del Monte name in 1880. The Del Monte shield, many of us have come to recognize, was introduced in 1909. In 1971, Del Monte became the first major food producer in the U.S. to voluntarily include nutritional labels on their products.

Although you may know of Del Monte Foods because of the Del Monte products, they have a handful of other brands under the Del Monte Foods name as well. Here's a look at all of the Del Monte Foods brands.

Del Monte is the brand that is probably most recognizable when you're browsing through the canned vegetable or fruit aisle. This brand sells canned vegetables, canned fruits, and snacks such as the Fruit Cup Snacks and Chilled Fruit Cups.

When you're making a pizza, pasta, or stew, you might reach for a can of Contadina tomatoes. This brand sells a variety of canned tomatoes, including San Marzano style, diced tomatoes, whole tomatoes, and tomato sauce.

College Inn is well-known for its broth and stock options. When you're making a soup or roast, College Inn has all of the options you need. This brand sells products such as stock, chicken broth, beef broth, and bone broth.

Similar to College Inn, Kitchen Basics sells a variety of stocks and broths that are perfect for soups, stews, roasts, and other hearty dishes. The varieties they sell include their original chicken stock, unsalted beef stock, and chicken bone broth.

Unlike some of the other Del Monte Foods brands, JOYBA sells a refreshing beverage you can enjoy on the go. JOYBA boba tea products offer a quick option for those who enjoy bubble tea. They sell packs of ready-to-drink tea in different flavors such as Raspberry Dragon Fruit Flavored Black Tea, Mango Passion Fruit Flavored Green Tea, and Strawberry Lemonade Flavored Green Tea.

If you're looking for an organic tomato option, Take Root Organics may be your go-to. Take Root Organics sells canned tomatoes in the form of tomato paste, fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and some other options.

S&W is another brand of Del Monte Foods, specializing in produce, dressings, and sauces. According to the Del Monte Foods website, S&W has been delivering great-tasting products for family meals since 1896. These products include canned fruits like beets and fruit cocktail.

Del Monte Foods has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and will continue operations during a court-supervised sale process as they look for a buyer. According to the CEO, the company believes that a court-supervised sale process will help maximize value for all stakeholders. They have also filed "first day" motions, which are standard in Chapter 11 cases, to allow the company to continue business operations while seeking a buyer.

While we're not sure exactly what will happen to Del Monte Foods, it's obvious that the impact of this company has been widespread across the United States.
