The biggest companies in the food-and-beverage sector have faced plenty of bad news over the past year as they generated headlines about red ink and write-downs. And yet, the latest version of the Food Processing Top 100 list shows that these companies combined generated a 2.4% sales increase versus 2024.
But, as Editor-in-Chief Dave Fusaro notes here, food-at-home inflation over the past year was an identical 2.4%. “So one can presume that, collectively, this group had zero volume growth. Another interesting computation: If you add the net income figures for 2025 vs. 2024, their profits were down $14 billion.”
