HOBOKEN, N.J., March 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hain Celestial Group (NASDAQ:HAIN), a leading global health and wellness company whose purpose is to inspire healthier living through better-for-you brands, today announced that it has completed the previously announced sale of its North American Snacks business, including Garden Veggie Snacks™, Terra® chips and Garden of Eatin'® snacks, to Snackruptors Inc., a Canadian, family-owned snacks manufacturer.

Proceeds from the transaction will be used to reduce debt, strengthening the company's financial position and leverage profile.

The divestiture represents an important first step as Hain sharpens its focus and advances a simplified North American portfolio centered on core categories with stronger margin and cash flow profiles. The resulting portfolio and financial profile will support increased investment over time in the company's North American better-for-you brands across its flagship categories of yogurt, tea, and baby & kids foods.

Going forward, Hain's global brands will include Celestial Seasonings® teas, The Greek Gods® yogurt, Earth's Best® Organic and Ella's Kitchen® baby and kids foods, Joya® and Natumi® plant-based beverages, Hartley's® jelly, as well as Cully & Sully®, Yorkshire Provender®, and New Covent Garden® soups, among others.
