1857 ET - JBS says U.S. consumers are seeking more affordable protein options, leading to record net first-quarter sales in its U.S. pork business. The segment's sales ticked up 1.5% in the quarter from a year ago, with the results driven by strong domestic demand as well as the company's efforts to expand its value-added and branded product portfolio, JBS says. The demand for pork comes as beef prices rise, driven by soaring cattle costs. (kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
