Conagra, the company that makes brands including Slim Jim and Pam, snapped into some sales growth in the most recent quarter with net sales up nearly 10% year over year in Q3 to reach more than $2.76 million, which "exceeded our expectations in the quarter," said President and CEO Sean Connolly. And its retail sales grew almost 14% year over year.
