HORMEL FOODS CORP /DE/

Hormel Foods Corp /DE/ operates under the CIK 48465 umbrella, delivering branded and private-label refrigerated and shelf-stable meat, sausage, and convenience offerings to grocery retailers, foodservice operators, and household shoppers across North America and beyond; its portfolio ranges from cold-cuts and bacon to plant-based proteins and ancillary prepared foods, supporting both everyday meals and emergency food programs. The company navigates the broader food manufacturing SIC grouping, where consumer staples demand resilience but remain sensitive to commodity swings, supply chain bottlenecks, and evolving dietary trends; Hormel’s exposure to volatile hog, beef, and spice ingredient costs, coupled with labor intensity in processing plants, underscores the need for effective hedging, productivity, and safety compliance. Regulatory oversight spans food safety authorities such as the USDA and FDA, plus environmental and workplace mandates that can ripple through production scheduling.
