Robert Unanue: Goya and Company

robert unanue: Goya was founded in Manhattan in 1936 by Prudencio Unanue and his wife Carolina, immigrants from Spain, according to CTV. The company calls itself the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States. The company that makes products used in many Hispanic cuisines, but whose following extends well outside of that range, is getting some backlash after its CEO praised President Donald Trump at a White House event. Robert Unanue, a grandson and now Goya CEO, spoke at a Rose Garden event announcing a Hispanic Prosperity Initiative on Thursday. Almost immediately, Boycott Goya, Goya Foods and Goyaway began trending on social media platforms with scorn coming seemingly from all directions, including Hollywood and Washington. We are truly blessed, at the same time, to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder, Unanue said standing at a podium beside Trump. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
