Lenders are condemning Borden Dairy for its unexpected bankruptcy declaration made Monday, according to court papers.
The 163-year-old dairy producer became the second major U.S. dairy to file for bankruptcy in months as consumer demand for non-dairy products increases.
“The bankruptcy filing was both unnecessary and detrimental to the business, its employees and its vendors, among others.
