HP Hood.
The Hartford Courant reports that HP Hood plans to lay off 80 of
the 160 workers at its Suffield, CT ice cream plant in by November. Hood
cited increased competition in New England and lower demand for novelty
products such as popsicles and ice cream sandwiches. Hood will continue
to produce its regular ice cream for retail and bulk sales in Suffield,
but will outsource the production of novelties.
