General Mills Pauses Acquisitions

The food giant is shifting its focus away from mergers and acquisitions amid a difficult market.

General Mills is not currently prioritising mergers and acquisitions. CEO Jeff Harmening has indicated that the company is maintaining a high bar for any potential new purchases due to the challenging economic environment.

According to Food Dive, the food manufacturer may instead look into further divestitures as it navigates current market pressures.
