PepsiCo Adding Healthier Snacks as Its North American Sales Dip
Published On Feb 4, 2025, 12:09 PM
PepsiCo is adapting to changing consumer preferences by introducing healthier snack options as demand for low-sodium and low-fat products rises. The company's recent earnings report showed a slight decline in revenue but an increase in net income. However, volumes for its Frito-Lay snack business have dropped for five consecutive quarters, attributed to inflation and a shift towards healthier choices among consumers.
