Tariff exposure is the dominant new risk, escalating from a general macro concern to a concrete, named financial headwind across input costs (ingredients, packaging, tinplate steel) and finished goods sourcing, with the company's own language upgrading severity from "moderate" to "more significant." Regulatory pressure compounds the picture, with the FDA's dye phase-out directive, new FD&C color ingredient rules, and climate reporting requirements all moving from prospective to enacted. Goodwill and intangibles declined a combined $0.6B, with tariffs now explicitly cited as an impairment trigger, adding a balance-sheet dimension to what was previously an income-statement risk.
