Legendary Midwest Fast-Food Icon Spirals Into Bankruptcy

"Unilever confirms that it has received an inbound offer for its Foods business and is in discussions with McCormick & Company, Inc. There can be no certainty that any transaction will be agreed," the Anglo-Dutch consumer goods company said.
Bloomberg reported earlier this week that Unilever was in the early stages of offloading all or part of its food business.
