Statement by Chiquita Following Today's Press Conference
“Chiquita fully recognizes and regrets that neighboring communities are suffering odor-related impacts as a result of the reaction. Chiquita is working hard to address and mitigate these impacts. Adjacent neighbors participating in the Chiquita Community Relief Program have thus far directly received nearly nine million dollars from Chiquita. In addition, Chiquita has distributed over 1,700 air purifiers to local residents and ensured every school classroom around the landfill has been outfitted with carbon filtration devices. The current data and evaluations by multiple scientific experts show that there are no anticipated short- or long-term health impacts due to emissions from the Chiquita Canyon Landfill.” – Chiquita Canyon
