Stock sold off last week after Walmart said Wegovy and Ozempic were leading customers to buy fewer groceries and cut back on calories

The new class of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy are having a negligible impact on PepsiCo Inc.’s snacks and beverages business, but the trend of healthier eating is causing customers to seek smaller packages and to consume less sugar and salt.

That allows for greater convenience, variety and portion control, he said, and the company is continuing its push toward healthier snacking and beverage options, including zero-sugar beverages and nutritious convenience foods with lower sodium content.
