These ownership and business changes come as the company re-evaluates how its brands are grouped and managed.
Kraft Heinz, the food and beverage conglomerate behind brands such as Heinz ketchup and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, is preparing for the future with its global sauce business and North American grocery unit operating as separate units. A key consideration for investors is how such a separation might change how parts of the company are operated, financed and performance measured. Packaged food companies have been rethinking product portfolios, brands and geographies as consumer habits, retailer strengths and cost structures evolve.
