Hostess Brands Inc., the maker of Twinkies snack cakes and Wonder bread, fell back into bankruptcy less than three years after completing an earlier restructuring.
The baker ended an earlier trip through bankruptcy court in February 2009 when buyout firm Ripplewood Holdings LLC and lenders took control of Interstate Bakeries Corp., which was renamed Hostess Brands.
