WESTPORT, Connecticut (AP) – The Newman's Own Foundation announced that Bob Forrester had been removed from his position as President and Chief Executive Officer and President, in view of allegations of inappropriate behavior by employees .
The foundation, in a statement Tuesday, said Forrester had been dismissed from office by a special committee independent of his board of directors. The group has also appointed Jennifer Smith Turner, Acting President of the Foundation.
Newman's Own says the action was taken as a result of an independent investigation.
Newman's Own was founded by actor Paul Newman in 1982. Forrester succeeded Newman's death in 2008.
The foundation gives all the profits from the sale of Newman & # 39; s Own food products, which amounted to more than 540 million dollars, to charities.
Attempts to reach Forrester on Tuesday failed. A phone number listed for him was not in use.
