Campbell Soup, the maker of Goldfish crackers and chicken noodle soup, may be next on acquirers’ grocery lists after the $29 billion takeover of H.J. Heinz Co. this year. Campbell options contracts surged this month amid speculation the $13 billion company could attract takeover interest. After 3G Capital and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. agreed in February to buy ketchup maker Heinz, investors are eyeing Campbell as the next big target in the packaged food industry, said Edward Jones & Co. Investment firm 3G may be interested because of the benefits of combining Heinz’s and Campbell’s vegetable processing, and Warren Buffett’s Berkshire could help bankroll a deal again, Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. said. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-12-17/campbell-seen-as-next-buffett-target-post-heinz-real-m-a.html
