RALSTON PURINA CO

Ralston Purina Co, historically centered on animal nutrition, blends decades of formulation expertise in pet food, livestock feed, and ingredient sourcing to serve veterinarians, livestock producers, and retail grocers seeking reliable protein, grain, and specialty diets; though the company’s current SIC classification has drifted in public disclosures, its roots in animal feed and food manufacturing underscore the agricultural and consumer staples context that shapes its supply chains. With CIK 81870, the company still focuses on core offerings such as fortified kibble, mineral supplements, and contract feed production while tailoring services to large-scale ranchers, independent farm cooperatives, and national pet retailers who count on consistent quality and traceability. Material risks include complexion in commodity volatility, tightening FDA and USDA oversight on feed safety, and the logistical complexity of blending plant and animal proteins across seasonal harvests, all of which investors should weigh even as the latest filing remains unknown; view live SEC filings on Earnings Feed.
