A second round of venture capital financing was provided about a year later. In 2005, Gardenburger filed for bankruptcy, though it continued operation by becoming privately held.〔(Gardenburger files for bankruptcy - Food Inc. - MSNBC.com )〕 In 2006, Gardenburger announced that it had taken eggs out of all of its products except for one private-sourced item which now contains organic, cage-free eggs.〔http://www.gardenburger.com/community/articles/index.php#No_Caged "No Caged Chickens" Policy〕 In 2006, the company changed its name back to Wholesome & Hearty Foods.
