Packaged foods remain a steady sector with personal consumption near record highs. Two small-cap stocks under $15 stand out: Mama’s Creations, growing rapidly with strong retail partnerships and 39% revenue growth in fiscal 2026, and Oatly, a plant-based dairy alternative company showing signs of profitable growth after years of losses. Mama’s benefits from rising demand for premium deli meals, while Oatly rides the structural shift to plant-based products. Both stocks carry execution risks but offer upside potential for investors willing to research and manage risk carefully.
