Poor
1st quarter results
The pet food crisis that has been tossing the company
around since March 16 is expected to cost Menu Foods at least $45 million. The
recall crushed Menu Foods' first-quarter results, as it reported a loss of
$17.5-million on sales of $64.5-million, compared with a profit of $1.3-million
on $93.9-million in sales in the first three months of 2006.
In addition, the
company has been confronted with a number of lawsuits against it, as well as a
probe by the FDA.
