Shortages are rampant across industries right now, and with more disruptive events hitting the freight world, they could be extended into the peak of summer. 

In this episode of The Stockout, Mike Baudendistel discusses recovery from the JBS cyberattack, which shut down much of the country’s meat processing and left some grocery stores without meat on the shelves.

Baudendistel breaks down the newest CPG news of the week and talks about Thursday’s earnings results from the J.M. Smucker Co., which is performing well in the face of rapidly rising input costs.
