Despite a gap in the middle of the month, February still notched up 44 food and drink sector transactions on the bevblog.net mergers and acquisitions database.
Four were worth over $1bn in value:
Of the 44 total, 11 were in soft drinks, ten in ingredients, six in alcohol and five in dairy.
19 were inside national boundaries, 13 of them within the United States. 25 were cross border, including 12 more for the United States, six for Switzerland, five for France, four for the United Kingdom and three each for Belgium and China.
The only major omission is that no price was disclosed for World Peas.
