Monterrey-based Alfa was hoping to raise MXN18.5bn (US$1bn) in the share offering that was scheduled for Wednesday (27 September).
It is the second time an IPO for Sigma, which produces dairy products, meat and frozen food, has been aborted. A plan to sell shares in the business was first touted in 2013.
