Tuesday, April 30, 3:50 AM Unilever (UN, UL) offers as much as $5.4B to boost its stake in its Indian unit Hindustan Unilever to a maximum of 75%. Unilever's 600 rupee/share bid is a 20.6% premium to Monday's close, but analysts say that may not be enough to entice foreign funds holding the shares to gain exposure to a hot Indian market.

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]

Wednesday, August 8, 2012, 3:46 PM Fears that the U.S. drought will drive up food prices next year are mostly unfounded, WSJ's Josh Mitchell writes, calculating the average consumer will spend only an extra $2.73/month. Food accounts for only ~14% of consumers’ daily living expenses, and given that prices for other items are falling or subdued, overall inflation likely will remain muted.

Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 1:40 PM Food price increases resulting from the Midwest drought that ravaged crops might not be as steep as some expect, according to some analysis. Fruit and vegetables crops are relatively stable due to irrigation, while corn ingredients typically only make up a a small portion of many common packaged food items. For the time being beef and milk prices could actually dip as farmers sell off cattle that they can't feed effectively, though next year consumers could take the hit when the dwindling number of cattle directly affects beef and dairy prices. 7 Comments [Consumer, Commodities]
