While eating food is still far from being a digital experience, acquiring food is increasingly accomplished online. According to an article by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/28/bernstein-smuckers-mondelez-are-most-unprepared-for-amazon-in-food.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=study-ranks-which-food-companies-should-be-most-intimidated-by-amazon-2709014" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">CNBC</a>, the research firm Bernstein recently published a note analyzing how prepared food companies are to compete with the e-commerce and delivery giant Amazon. 
 
According to CNBC, Bernstein estimates that while e-commerce only accounts for about 1 percent of packaged food sales in the U.S. currently, this figure could grow to 5 or 6 percent in the near future. Amazon&rsquo;s acquisition of Whole Foods in 2017 launched a new phase of its packaged food strategy as it began promoting the grocer&rsquo;s 365 Everyday Value Brand online, according to the article. 
 
&quot;While we expect private label shelf space to normalize over time as Amazon separates winners from losers, we continue to believe that Amazon&#39;s private label could pose a meaningful threat to branded food manufacturers, especially as its 365 Everyday Value Brand is already highly credible with consumers,&quot; Bernstein analyst Alexia Howard wrote in the note cited by CNBC. 
 
Bernstein ranked J.M. Smucker as the worst-positioned company due to its uncompetitive online presence, and ranked Mondelez second to last thanks to its under-indexing of cookie brands like Oreo and Chips Ahoy, according to the article. Kellogg&rsquo;s, General Mills, Kraft Heinz and Campbell&rsquo;s fell in the middle, while McCormick and Hershey nabbed the top and second highest spots due to their strong digital strategies and profitability of their products, according to CNBC.
