PepsiCo IncPepsiCo is expanding into refrigerated dips, produce-adjacent foods, and ready-to-eat meals as consumers shift toward fresher options, a market that accounts for over $271 billion in annual grocery sales. The company recently launched Tostitos guacamole and is building on brands like Sabra and Siete, partly in response to GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic, which reduce snacking and increase demand for protein and fiber. This strategy aims to offset pressure on traditional snack volumes by capturing more eating occasions in the faster-growing grocery perimeter. However, refrigerated products pose distribution and shelf-life challenges, and the success will depend on whether these new offerings can scale sufficiently.
