Hearthside Food Solutions, which has a facility in McComb, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

“With strong support from our key financial partners and other important stakeholders, we look forward to moving through this process swiftly and positioning Hearthside for significant long-term growth,” said Darlene Nicosia, Chief Executive Officer of Hearthside.
