Ittella is now in post-confirmation liquidation, with Liquidating Trustee Peter Hurwitz still administering claims, pursuing recoveries, and seeking approval of a $12.5 million officer-and-director settlement while no creditor distributions have yet been reported. The case began on July 2, 2023, when Ittella International LLC filed chapter 11 with affiliated Tattooed Chef entities, and the first-day record described the debtors continuing to operate as debtors in possession after emergency notice was served on secured creditors, top unsecured creditors, the U.S. Trustee, and other stakeholders through Stretto and counsel outreach in advance of the initial hearing Declaration Regarding First Day NoticeDkt. 64.
The restructuring moved from operating chapter 11 into a liquidating posture. The capital stack identified a prepetition UMB Bank revolving credit facility, and the claims data in the current case profile shows one secured claim totaling $19.0 million, but the recent docket is no longer focused on financing or going-concern operations. By late 2023, the unsecured creditors’ committee was prosecuting litigation against major counterparties, including complaints against Wakefern, Kroger, and Shamrock Foods Wakefern Adversary ComplaintDkt. 1, Kroger Adversary ComplaintDkt. 1, and Shamrock Adversary ComplaintDkt. 1.
The current workstream is liquidation-trust administration. The trustee has asked to extend the claim-objection deadline to December 31, 2026, saying administrative and priority claims have been objected to or paid, recoveries have been achieved through settlements, remaining adversary proceedings are nearing resolution, and general unsecured distributions are not yet ready . He also seeks approval of a compromise with former Tattooed Chef officers and directors that would bring $12.5 million into the liquidating trust, reduce the general unsecured claims pool by about $15.0 million, and resolve fiduciary-duty and related litigation with prejudice . The near-term calendar is concentrated on those two matters: the compromise hearing is set for June 4, 2026 , and the claim-objection extension hearing is set for June 11, 2026 .
