The company said restructuring of its soup operations and a salad dressing plant closure contributed to the declines.
Net sales in the period, however, were up 6.3% to $2.18bn.
“We had a solid finish to the year and are encouraged by the fourth quarter revenue growth across nearly all of our categories. Despite continued sluggish performance in the US grocery industry, we are very pleased with the 8.7% growth in volume/mix in our North American retail grocery segment,” said chairman and CEO Sam Reed.
