Food ingredients giant Kerry Group said it expects full year earnings growth to be at low end of its previously stated range following a sharp third quarter decline in volumes and pricing in its small dairy business.

Kerry, which supplies ingredients to the likes of McDonald's, also said pricing in its much larger taste and nutrition unit began to fall, with a third quarter decline of 1.4% reflecting some input cost deflation.

However, dairy volumes tumbled 12.1% from July to September to stand 6.2% lower year-to-date, with a 17.6% quarterly fall in pricing relating to"increased deflationary market dynamics". Edmond Scanlon, Kerry's CEO, said the company delivered a good overall performance in the period recognising varying conditions across our markets.
