Dannon yogurt waits on a dairy shelve for customers at a grocery store 27 July, 2005, in Centreville, Virginia. Shares in Groupe Danone SA, the world’s largest dairy products maker and the second largest bottled water producer, soared 26 July on continuing rumors of a possible bid by US based PepsiCo Inc. Shares in Danone rose, adding 3.3 percent to 84.50 euros, amid confusion about the intentions of the US soft drinks and snack maker. Rumors of a takeover of Danone by PepsiCo sparked an outcry last week, drawing angry comments from a host of senior political figures in France worried at the potential loss of a French corporate icon to a US company.
