Reuters - Australian Regulator Blocks Heinz Infant Food Deal
Australia's competition regulator has blocked an attempted takeover of Rafferty's Garden, an organic baby food supplier, by U.S.-based food giant H.J. Heinz Co on concerns that the deal would have reduced competition significantly, writes Reuters. By blocking the deal, the regulator has served up a setback for Anacacia Capital, the company's private equity owner, which invested in Rafferty's in 2010 through a management buyout.
