In this episode:

On CPG Week, the podcast team talks about the PepsiCo acquisition of Siete Foods, uncertainty about the future of a low-carbohydrate baking company and some high-profile beverage industry leadership changes.

The podcast hosts jump into the biggest deal of the last couple of weeks: Pepsi announcing its intent to acquire Mexican American, grain-free food maker Siete. After discussing how Siete's new potential owners might grow and change the brand, the CPG Week team tries to unravel rumors circulating around better-for-you baking company BetterBrand. Finishing up the podcast, senior reporter Brad Avery goes through the latest leadership changes at enhanced water brand Lemon Perfect and canned water maker Liquid Death.
