Candidate case for simplified procedure
(Text with EEA relevance)
(C/2026/367)


1.   
On 5 January 2026, the Commission received notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1).
This notification concerns the following undertakings:






—


One Foods Holdings Limited (‘One Foods’, United Arab Emirates), controlled by BRF GmbH (‘BRF’, Austria), the latter at its turn controlled by Marfrig Global Foods S.A (‘MBRF’, Brazil),










—


Halal Products Development Company (‘HPDC’, Saudi Arabia), controlled by Public Investment Fund (‘PIF’, Saudi Arabia).




BRF and HPDC will acquire within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) and 3(4) of the Merger Regulation joint control of One Foods.
The concentration is accomplished by way of purchase of shares.


2.   
The business activities of the undertakings concerned are the following:






—


BRF is a holding company for the group of food production companies active globally across a multi-protein portfolio (mainly poultry and beef). One Foods operates BRF’s food business across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries,










—


HPDC is an investment company involved in halal products globally (e.g. food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals).

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified transaction could fall within the scope of the Merger Regulation. However, the final decision on this point is reserved.
Pursuant to the Commission Notice on a simplified treatment for certain concentrations under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (2), it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the procedure set out in the Notice.
