Euralis, however, pointed out it had seen combined sales from four brands – Jean Staleven, Montfort, Rougié and Qualité Traiteur – inch up 0.5%.
The group did not disclose profit numbers for the division, which is its second-largest by sales.
Overall, Euralis’ group sales fell 4.5% to EUR1.44bn, with the co-op pointing to the avian influenza outbreak that hit the French sector, as well as a “slowdown in agricultural markets”.
