For the thirteen weeks ended April 4, 2026, B&G Foods posted net sales of $408.9 million, down 3.9% from $425.4 million a year ago, reflecting Green Giant U.S. frozen and other divestitures partially offset by base-business growth and the College Inn/Kitchen Basics acquisition.

Pre-tax loss was $45.3 million as elevated raw-material and freight costs, interest expense, and acquisition-related charges weighed on margins.
