Shares of Brazilian meat company JBS (JBSS3.SA) fell 3.7 percent Friday on concern that the company will mount a new bid to gain control of Sara Lee Corp's (SLE.N) meat business. The board of the U.S. conglomerate said earlier in the day that Sara Lee would split into two public companies focusing on North American meats and international coffee, a move that could make it easier for suitors to buy the parts. JBS has shown interest in the meats business but struggled to push forward with a bid for the entire company, sources told Reuters this week. Sara Lee was valued by some analysts at $12.5 billion, while JBS' market capitalization is $11 billion.
