About B&G Foods, Inc.

B&G Foods, Inc. (NYSE: BGS) is a U.S.-listed branded food company headquartered in Parsippany, New Jersey, in the United States. The company operates as a holding company and manufactures, sells, and distributes a broad portfolio of shelf-stable and frozen foods. It emphasizes a portfolio of high-margin brands, disciplined acquisitions, and the return of excess cash to stockholders. The company says it has more than 50 brands and has built its investor proposition around stable consumer staples cash flows rather than rapid product innovation. ([bgfoods.com](https://bgfoods.com/investor-relations)) B&G Foods traces its roots back to 1889, giving it a long operating history in packaged foods. Its present corporate form evolved over time, including the transition from B&G Foods Holdings Corp. and the name change to B&G Foods, Inc. in 2004, the year it went public. For equity investors, that history matters because it reflects a mature, acquisition-driven consumer staples platform with a long record as a publicly traded company on the NYSE. ([stockanalysis.com](https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/bgs/company/?utm_source=openai)) The company’s business is now organized into four reportable segments: Specialty, Meals, Frozen & Vegetables, and Spices & Flavor Solutions. Its branded portfolio includes well-known names such as Crisco, Clabber Girl, Ortega, Cream of Wheat, Green Giant, Le Sueur, Dash, Spice Islands, Weber, B&M, Polaner, Underwood, and New York Style. Product categories span frozen and canned vegetables, cooking oils, shortening, hot cereals, fruit spreads, canned meats and beans, bagel chips, spices, seasonings, hot sauces, salad dressings, baking ingredients, and other pantry staples. This is a classic branded grocery model with a mix of household names and niche heritage labels.

It sells both directly and through independent brokers and distributors to supermarket chains, foodservice outlets, warehouse clubs, mass merchants, and specialty distributors. The business is primarily North American: the company reports operations across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, rather than as a globally diversified multinational. One notable concentration risk is customer exposure: Walmart represents a material share of consolidated net sales, highlighting the importance of scale relationships with major retailers.

In 2025 and 2026, B&G Foods completed or announced several divestitures and transactions, including Don Pepino, Le Sueur U.S., and Green Giant U.S. frozen, while also announcing the acquisition of College Inn and Kitchen Basics in 2026. Management also reduced the intended dividend rate beginning with the July 2026 payment. Recent earnings releases pointed to the impact of portfolio changes, an extra reporting week in fiscal 2025, and an ongoing shift in the company’s operating mix. For investors, B&G Foods remains a defensive consumer-staples name on the NYSE, but one that is actively restructuring its brand portfolio to improve focus and financial flexibility.
