CHICAGO – ConAgra Foods, Inc. on July 26 completed two separate divestitures: the sale of its JM Swank business to Platinum Equity and the sale of its Spicetec Flavors & Seasonings business to Givaudan.

ConAgra in mid-May agreed to sell its Spicetec Flavors & Seasonings business for approximately $340 million. A few weeks after that, the company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its JM Swank business, a national food ingredient sourcing and distribution company.
