- On Tuesday, Nestle agreed to divest its mainstream vitamins, minerals, and supplements business to private equity firm Yellow Wood Partners for $1 billion, including seven brands and U.S. private-label operations.

- Yellow Wood Partners, a Boston-based firm, has completed six acquisitions since 2019, including Unilever's Elida Beauty division and ChapStick from Haleon in recent years.
