The only directly provided source is the X post at https://x.com/x/status/2042419316285473199, but it could not be fetched, so its contents and provenance were not verified. Subsequent corroboration searches using the claim text, including the key figures '$1.25 trillion', 'Q1 2026', '18% year over year', and the named companies 'Unilever', 'McCormick', and 'Sysco', did not produce relevant authoritative sources. Because no validated primary or reliable secondary source was found, there is insufficient evidence to assess whether the statement is true or false.
