A deal would be one of the biggest ever in the packaged food sector, given Kellanova's market value of $22 billion, and test the appetite of U.S. regulators ...
- Family-owned food giant Mars , whose candy brands include M&M's and Snickers, is exploring a potential acquisition of Kellanova , maker of snacks such as Cheez-It and Pringles, according to people familiar with the matter.
Shares of Kellanova are up about 20% since it was spun off from Kellogg Co last October but are still trading at a discount to some of its peers, such as Hershey and Mondelez International, making it a potential acquisition target. Dealmaking in the packaged food sector has been robust as companies seek scale to weather the impact of price inflation and drug-loss drugs weighing on demand. But many of the deals have been smaller than the mega merger between Heinz and Kraft clinched almost a decade ago, as U.S. antitrust regulators have become more concerned about the impact of large deals on consumers.
A family-owned business, Mars' consumer products include snacks and pet food. It also runs veterinary care centers and has a veterinary diagnostics business .Recession fears are gripping the market.
