Seneca Foods Reports Sales and Earnings for the Three Months Ended June 27, 2026

"We started fiscal 2027 on a very strong note, with increased sales versus the same period last year driven by our Green Giant Frozen acquisition, steady private label growth, and timing related to our Co-pack business. As high-cost inventory from the short pack of 2024 is now behind us, gross margin expanded 100bp year-over-year on a FIFO basis, despite the impact of a non-cash charge related to the bargain purchase of the Green Giant Frozen business." Paul Palmby, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seneca Foods

We remain focused on mitigating supply chain, labor and inflation related impacts.” - Paul Palmby, CEO
