PROCESSED FOOD LEADERS REPORT STRONG SALES, PROFITS

Kraft Heinz, known for its ketchup and mac and cheese, reported third-quarter sales 6.3 percent higher than a year earlier, while cereal giant Kellogg saw sales climb 4.5 percent for the period.
The two companies have raised their profit outlook for 2020.
The move signals a reversal of fortune for Heinz, which is owned in part by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital, a private equity firm.
The company has taken several write-downs as sales dove for some of its products, such as Oscar Mayer meats.
Kellogg raised its sales forecast for the year to a 6-percent rise from 2020, instead of the 5 percent it previously foresaw, and bumped its expected profit increase to 2 percent on the year instead of 1.
