Snack and beverage companies also saw their stocks fall Friday. Shares of Mondelez International —maker of Oreos, Wheat Thins, and Chips Ahoy!—slid 4% to $62.47 in recent trading. Jelly company J.M. Smucker ‘s stock was down 2.5% to $113.55. Neither Mondelez nor Smucker’s responded to a request for comment.
