Kroger reports $100M loss from cyclosporiasis outbreak
The summer cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to lettuce caused shoppers to avoid Kroger’s produce section, leading to a sales decline of over $100 million and a 0.35% drop in identical store sales. As a result, Kroger lowered its 2026 sales forecast, projecting minimal growth of 0.2% to 0.8%, down from previous estimates. The company reported a profit of $641 million on sales of $24.6 billion amid lower-than-expected revenue.
