Tyson Foods, one of the U.S.’s largest chicken processors, appears to have bested Pilgrim’s Pride to acquire deli and packaged meat purveyor Hillshire Brands.

Hillshire was the subject of a $6.4 billion takeover bid last month mounted by Pilgrim’s, a unit of Brazilian beef and poultry giant JBS that turned to Cravath, Swaine & Moore for counsel on the offer.
