Hormel Foods Says Consumer Environment Remains Challenging -- Market Talk

Dow Jones02-27

1302 ET - Hormel's F1Q growth came despite operating in a challenging consumer environment, the company says. The period was marked by limited industry-wide retail consumption growth and notable headwinds in foodservice channels as operators and consumers remain cautious, President John Ghingo says on a call with analysts. "In this backdrop, we are committed to creating and marketing compelling branded offerings for our consumers and a solutions-based portfolio that makes protein easy for our operators," he says.
