Kraft Heinz switches to packaged products to meet growth in demand

Kraft Heinz (Chicago), the world’s fifth largest food & beverage multinational, announced that it has significantly reduced the activity of three of its food service production lines and shifted resources to packaged food facilities.

According to Kraft Heinz CEO Miguel Patricio, the measure was required to cope with the sharp increase in demand for pasta and cheese in the United States.

The company recently donated $6.6 million to Feeding America, including $1.9 million in cash and $4.7 million in food.
