Stripping out currency effects and one-time charges, Danone said revenue from its biscuits and cereals business rose over 4% to EUR506m.


“This overall excellent performance is the result of the group’s continued focus on innovation and health positioning of its brands, and its expansion in developing markets,” Danone said.
