Shares of packaged food company General Mills are falling on Wednesday after reporting lower-than-expected quarterly results. Sales were down 0.1% from the year-ago period due to the later Thanksgiving holiday not being included in the second quarter this year. Chief Executive Officer Ken Powell said results were also dragged down by higher ingredient costs and beverage industry sales. Looking ahead, General Mills expects foreign currency effects to pose a greater challenge than the company originally estimated.
