Kraft will split snacks and grocery businesses
By the end of next year, Kraft Foods plans to have two distinct businesses: North American groceries and global snacks.
This will separate the likes of Oreos, Cadbury, Tang and Trident from Maxwell House, Philadelphia cream cheese and Jell-O.
The New York Times reports the company, which has a plant in Far Northeast Philadelphia, estimates $32 billion and $16 billion, respectively, in annual revenue.
The snacks business will focus on developing markets, while the grocery side will continue developing brands in the existing market.
