Pepperidge Farm May Experience a<br />Cookie Shortage During the Holidays.<br />Pepperidge Farm’s parent company,<br />Campbell Soup Co., has revealed its<br />cookie supply is running a bit low. .<br />During a recent investors meeting,<br />CEO Mark Clouse said that “supply<br />constraints” had negatively impacted<br />Pepperidge Farm’s cookie creation. .<br />Among those constraints are an increase<br />in “consumer snacking behavior” and <br />labor shortages due to COVID-19.<br />We are still working through some supply<br />constraints, including a challenge in<br />cookies where the combination of demand<br />and labor impacted by COVID-19 has<br />had some negative impact on supply, Mark Clouse, via Thrillist.<br />A recent report by Top Data revealed that<br />America’s cookie consumption has risen 25 percent<br />since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. .<br />Pepperidge Farm cookie<br />demand went up a reported<br />8.7 percent in the 13-week<br />period ending on November 1. .<br />Pepperidge Farm doesn’t rely on <br />third-party manufacturers, meaning<br />production falls completely on Campbell. .<br />This portfolio is unique with<br />proprietary recipes, and therefore<br />we do not outsource production, Campbell Soup Co., to 'Bloomberg News'.<br />But Clouse says they are "confident" they'll <br />be able to meet the "long-term demand.".<br />Despite these isolated challenges,<br />we feel very confident in our ability to<br />meet the long-term demand driven<br />by the expected sustained growth<br />of consumer snacking behavior, Mark Clouse, via Thrillist
