The fine? $38 million.

Chiquita Brands International's profits in 2023? $3.1 billion.

That's a slap on the wrist if anything. Just the cost of doing business I guess.

To put that into context:

if all you had was a $100 USD Note, the equivalent of that “slap on the wrist” fine would be $1.23

I'll do the math when I get home, but that serms high. Gut instinct I thought it would be more like $0.10.
