Parmalat Brasil Industria de Alimentos filed for bankruptcy protection last week as it had difficulties paying suppliers and creditors amid the current financial crisis at its Italian parent.

Parmalat Brasil’s press office told Reuters it had suspended 60% of its production lines and that its output was varying due to inconsistent deliveries from suppliers.
