The company posted net income of US$324,000 for the 26 weeks to 27 June, versus a net loss of $401,000. Net sales were up 8% at $7.3m.

Tofutti Brands also booked a profit for the second quarter, with net income hitting $194,000, compared to loss of $24,000 in the second quarter of 2015.

However, Tofutti Brands’ second-quarter net sales fell 2% to $3.6m.

According to an SEC filing, Tofutti Brands saw sales from frozen foods – its third product line – drop from $241,000 in the second quarter of 2015 to $40,000 in this year’s second quarter.
