US food group Michael Foods has booked an increase in third-quarter profits on the back of higher sales and lower finance costs.

Michael Foods pointed to higher volumes and said margins had improved after better matching pricing to its input costs. Net sales increased 2.5% to $470.9m.
President and CEO Jim Dwyer said: “Our volume and revenue growth is being driven by new distribution and increased velocity with existing customers. We are also seeing the continued effectiveness of our pass-through pricing mechanisms and continuous improvement programmes.”
