"For 17 years we have worked to transform the company, and we have not been successful," he says. "It's time to focus on our core...
...grocery shopping doubles as a market-research field trip, doesn't take anything for granted. "We're like a little speedboat circling around an ocean liner, so we have to be more innovative," he says. In the past year, Hain has joined forces with two U.S. institutions--providing its Yves veggie burgers as part of the McVeggie at select McDonald's locations and working with Sesame Street on co-branded Earth's Best products.
