Frozen foods giant Nomad Foods -- parent of the Birds Eye and Iglo brands -- is building up stock and finding alternatives to fish processed in China in case the coronavirus global health emergency situation deteriorates further.
So far the coronavirus, now known as Covid-19, has reportedly killed more than 2,700 people worldwide, mostly in China.
On a conference call following the release of its quarterly earnings Thursday, Nomad CEO Stefan Descheemaeker was asked by one analyst whether the company expects to benefit from consumers staying home and stocking frozen food because of fears of coronavirus spreading.
