It’s now a behemoth that touches consumers on all corners of the globe, and Scanlon feels by continuing its trajectory, the company can reach even more people.Through M&A, he said, Kerry will acquire smaller companies that can help improve the health and wellness aspects of food products.

During its financial results for the first half of 2020, total revenues were down 4.3%, with a volume decrease of 6%.

And expanding in these areas also can help Kerry meet its sustainability goals. After all, as Scanlon pointed out, if food has a longer shelf life, less will be wasted.
