NEW YORK -- One of the biggest challenges facing packaged food companies today may be consumer demand for simple ingredients, said Irwin Simon, chairman, president and chief executive officer of the Hain Celestial Group, Inc. And leading the charge, he added, are the 93 million millennials whom "no consumer packaged goods companies should overlook."

Mr. Simon said during a May 27 presentation at the Citi Global Consumer Conference in New York. "'Or am I just going to hang in there, maybe I will take my trade promotions down, not promote enough; because how far can I fall? But I want to keep my margins.'
