What the source says

“…We don’t see a lot of frozen food downsizing, except for ice cream usually, so this was a great catch by Jim S. *MOUSE PRINT: No more one pound Boston Market Salisbury Steak, it is now slimmer and trimmer at 14.5 ounces. Lastly, we have some more downsizing in the chip department, and this is a huge change.”
