Oct 6 (Reuters) - Conagra Brands Inc beat quarterly sales estimates on Thursday as higher product prices offset waning demand for its snacks and ready-to-eat meals.

The company's net sales rose to $2.90 billion for the first quarter from $2.65 billion a year earlier. Analysts had expected sales of $2.85 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. (Reporting by Granth Vanaik and Mehr Bedi in Bengaluru; Editing by Shounak Dasgupta)
