16% and also missed market expectations for quarterly profit, sending its shares down 4%.<\/p>\n<p>Packaged food companies have in recent months reeled under soaring prices of commodities such as wheat and resin, while an overburdened supply chain has driven up their freight costs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect to continue experiencing cost pressures above original expectations in the second half of fiscal 2022,\u201d Chief Executive Officer Sean Connolly said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Duncan Hines cake mixes maker expects gross inflation to be 14% for the year, higher than its previous view of about 11%.<\/p>\n<p>The company said it brought in another round of price increases during December, the benefit of which was expected in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n<div
