Hunt to Cut Jobs at Fullerton Plant: The food company will lay off more than 300 workers, half of its full-time force, and drop 550 of 1,100 seasonal positions at the plant as the firm streamlines its tomato processing business. The cuts are needed to shift from a seasonal packaging line that produces ketchup, stewed tomatoes and spaghetti sauces to a year-round process focusing on a variety of products made from tomato paste, said Hunt Foods Co. President Ed Snell. The cuts will be implemented over the next year.
