“TreeHouse Foods, Inc. (NYSE:THS) manufactures private label packaged foods, mostly for grocery chains. The company makes everything from crackers to broths to pickles to cheese. Treehouse never found its footing after levering up for the acquisition of ConAgra’s private label business in 2016, and growth and margins have been inconsistent ever since.
