Monday, May 6, 10:14 AM Where's the beef? Shares of Tyson Foods (TSN -5.3%) stumble and take a few peers down with it after the company misses profit estimates. Consumers opted for lower-margin chicken products in Q1 and there's some concern the trend will continue as beef prices hit a consumer breaking point. Sector watch: Hormel (HRL) -1.6%, Smithfield Foods (SFD) -1.2%, Hillshire Brands (HSH) -0.9%. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
Tuesday, March 26, 8:58 AM Lobbyists from meat companies won a last-minute amendment to a budget bill last week which will keep food safety inspectors on the job this summer. Though spending cuts will continue to pose a threat to the meat industry (SFD, HRL, TSN, HSH), for the time being it will be business as usual. A disturbing horse meat scandal in Europe is believed to have helped tip sentiment toward keeping meat inspectors on the busy side through the summer. Comment! [Consumer]

Friday, January 4, 1:52 PM The FDA is proposing two new food safety rules for foodborne illness prevention. The first rule would require food makers to develop a formal plan for preventing their food products from causing foodborne illness, and for correcting any problems that might arise. The second proposes enforceable, scientific-based safety standards for the production and harvesting of produce on farms. 2 Comments [Consumer, Commodities]
Thursday, January 3, 10:39 AM Hormel's (HRL +5%) acquisition of Skippy Peanut Butter will put it in a pitched battle with J.M. Smucker's market-leading Jif brand with the odds stacked against it. Jif has maintained its dominance since 1981 and is still well-positioned with new low sodium and reduced fat products. Global growth could be part of Hormel's peanut butter plan. With the company positioning Spam as an upscale treat as ads in China call it a "juicy, meaty satisfaction" - the mind only wonders what the marketing mavens will call Jif on the global stage. 2 Comments [Consumer, M&A]
