Shoppers turn to smaller food brands, cutting into Unilever, P&G profits

Shoppers, weary of high prices and highly-processed packaged food, are increasingly buying from smaller food brands, threatening the growth of billion-dollar products from conglomerates such as Unilever. Consider Hellmann's mayonnaise, one of Unilever's biggest brands globally. The condiment is losing market share to less-well-known rivals such as Duke’s Mayo, which was founded in the U.S. south, and Mike’s Amazing mayo, which is gaining traction in the U.S. northeast, where it says it is the fastest growing condiments brand.
