"We expect the momentum to continue in the second half, allowing us for the full year to deliver, in line with our commitments, around 5% organic growth with an improvement in margins and underlying earnings per share in constant currencies." Zone Americas had sales of 13.6 billion Swiss francs ($14.8 billion) in the first half. The frozen food segment in North America saw growth in Stouffer's frozen entrees and share gains in DiGiorno pizza. "The frozen entree and pizza categories continue to struggle for growth," Mr. Martello said. "The competing restaurants are pushing hard on the fresh not frozen theme. We are responding to this with our own messaging under the theme 'Balance Your Plate.' In pizza, home delivery continues to compete on a very promotional basis." Contraction continued in the Nutritional segment, which includes Lean Cuisine. Nescafe and Coffee-Mate continued to perform well, as did super-premium ice cream brands.
