JBS confirmed in May it had started the process of listing JBS Foods. At the time, JBS said it expected the shares will be accepted for trading on the Novo Mercado of the BM&FBOVESPA exchange in Sao Paulo.

The company apparently wants to kick off investor meetings ahead of the move next week. However, the company declined to comment. 

JBS created JBS Foods last year when it acquired Seara Brasil from Brazilian rival Marfrig.
