0811 ET - General Mills CEO Jeff Harmening says consumers are still behaving cautiously due to economic uncertainty, global conflicts and changing food-policy regulations. The maker of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal and Nature Valley granola bars says that it is investing heavily in price to drive sales. There are still some green shoots, though, despite the broad-based malaise. "We continue to see consumers seeking value and prioritize their spending on key benefits like protein, bold flavors, and feelings of nostalgia from brands they love," Harmening says in prepared remarks. General Mills slip 2% after General Mills logs another quarter of sales declines. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
