Market Chatter: Use of GLP-1 Pills Seen to Ease Impact on Sales of Food Companies

MT Newswires Live

14 hours ago

Mondelez International (MDLZ), Hershey (HSY), Kraft Heinz (KHC), General Mills (GIS) and other food companies will continue to face potential sales declines due to the rising use of GLP-1 treatment for weight loss, but the introduction of pills could lower the impact on sales, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing Bloomberg Intelligence research.

According to the report, users of GLP-1 pills curbed their snacking less than those using the injectable form.

A survey of 1,001 people in the US in July showed that 74% of those taking pills were eating fewer salty snacks and 76% were eating fewer baked goods, compared with 80% and 82%, respectively, of those taking the treatment through shots, Bloomberg said.

Mondelez, Hershey, Kraft Heinz and General Mills did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
