As we continue to execute our disciplined acquisition strategy, we remain focused on positioning B&G Foods for steady growth and consistent returns.”


The terms of the acquisition, which was funded from cash on hand, were not disclosed. B&G Foods expects to transition the acquired business to B&G Foods’ infrastructure within thirty days.
