On October 16, 2022, the New York Post published an article entitled “Freshpet investors howl while top executives work quietly for rival pet food sellers.” The article said in part:

“Investors in Freshpet — an upscale pet food maker whose shares have skyrocketed during the pandemic but have fallen this year — hiss and howl after learning that some of the company’s top executives and directors have been quietly working at a startup , which also sells expensive pet foods, The Post has learned. Scott Morris, President and Operations Manager of Freshpet, who co-founded the Secaucus, NJ-based manufacturer in 2006 and is now its second-largest executive, also states on his LinkedIn page that he launched a website in 2019 called Hive Brands, which sells sustainable consumer goods… The conflict came to light when Freshpet’s stock fell to $39 a share last month – taking its market value from a high of $8 $2.1 billion traded above $184 in April 2021.”
