The company operates across center-of-the-store, refrigerated, foodservice, and food ingredient categories, also marketing convenient nutrition and private brand foods.

The Refrigerated Retail segment provides refrigerated side dishes, egg products, sausage, and cheese under brands like Bob Evans and Crystal Farms. Additionally, Post Holdings has an investment in 8th Avenue Food & Provisions, which focuses on the private brand food category.

Robert V. Vitale has served as President and CEO since 2014, though he is set to transition to Executive Chairman on October 1, 2026, with Nicolas Catoggio assuming the role of President and CEO. The company maintains leading market positions in its core growth categories, including being a leader in North American ready-to-eat cereal and the top foodservice manufacturer of value-added eggs and refrigerated potato products. Recent financial news includes the February 2026 report of strong Q1 fiscal year 2026 results, with an upward revision of its Adjusted EBITDA outlook, and the approval of a new $500 million share repurchase authorization.
