Hain Celestial Divestment to Snackruptors Intensifies Health-Focused Rivalry
A significant development in 2026 is Hain Celestial Group’s divestment of its North American snacks business to Snackruptors Inc for USD115 million, transferring brands such as Terra Chips and Garden Veggie Snacks. This transaction signals a strategic repositioning, as underperforming portfolios are realigned for stronger growth under a focused, Canada-based operator.
