To avoid losing customers who use Ozempic, CPG brands have been releasing new products that cater to people who are managing their weight. General Mills CEO Jeffrey Harmening said the company is developing new items “to meet evolving consumer weight management and nutrition needs” — they already launched healthier alternatives to popular products like the new protein-packed Annie’s Macaroni & Cheese “Super Mac.” Sean Connolly, CEO of Slim Jim-maker Conagra, said during an earnings call in October that the company will adjust its assortment if customers want to eat less or gravitate towards a specific diet.
