Novo Nordisk, Dr. Praeger's Among NJ Layoffs Totaling 400+ Jobs
NewsData.io · United States · Oct 2, 2026
Several New Jersey employers announced layoffs in early October 2026, led by Novo Nordisk (108 cuts in Plainsboro), Dr. Praeger's Sensible Foods (168 jobs lost as production moves to Kentucky), and Kings Food Markets (122 layoffs from two store closures). Novo Nordisk's cuts follow a broader restructuring that eliminated hundreds of NJ jobs last year. Recruiters in the New Jersey market should expect a surge of available candidates across food manufacturing, retail, and pharmaceutical sectors.
