Rachel’s Organic owner Lactalis Nestlé suffers 11% turnover drop
Rachel’s Organic owner Lactalis Nestlé saw an 11% fall in turnover last year in the face of a “very difficult economic environment”, latest accounts have shown.
The supplier, a joint venture between Nestlé and French dairy giant Lactalis, saw sales fall £13.5m to £108.3m for the year to 31 December 2019, according to latest accounts published at Companies House.
Pre-tax profit for the year also fell 15.9% to £3.6m due to what the supplier described as a “declining market” that it didn’t “expect to change in the immediate future”.
Despite launching a range of big pots last year and revamping its packaging, Rachel’s saw sales fall by 19% to £21.2m last year following a £4m slump in 2018 after the brand was a key victim of Waitrose’s yoghurt aisle reset in 2018.
