Sales growth was weaker, with revenues inching up 1.7% to $56.2m after being boosted by a doubling of Overhill’s foodservice sales.

The company’s retail sales slid 17.3% to $35.1m in the wake of Heinz’s decision to make more frozen food in-house.

Chairman, president and CEO James Rudis said: “We are pleased to be able to report these strong results despite the continuing challenges of a difficult economic environment for our customers and our company.”
