Food companies are recently struggling with their sales as consumers also struggle with money.
Struggling Food Companies
Major food companies like Kraft-Heinz and Conagra Brands are facing decreased sales as low-income Americans cut back on spending.
With government benefits like SNAP decreasing, food companies are offering deals and new sizes to attract budget-conscious consumers.
These changes to the sales of food companies come as low-income households turn to cooking from scratch and buying cheaper items, forgoing fresh produce and nutritious options.
Aside from food companies, convenience stores are also seeing lower sales from those using food stamps, prompting companies to offer value deals like $6.99 chicken patties.
According to a published article by SmartNews, the focus of food companies is now on attracting value buyers back with discounts, after a period of promoting premium products.
