Unilever’s Skippy Said to Attract Interest From ConAgra, B&G

Unilever, seeking a buyer for its Skippy peanut butter brand, has attracted interest from suitors including ConAgra Foods Inc. and B&G Foods Inc., said three people familiar with the matter.

The unit may fetch as much as $500 million, said two of the people, who asked not to be named because the process is private. The consumer-products company, which had sought preliminary offers by Oct. 25, wants to complete a deal by year-end, two of the people said.
