Kraft Heinz plans to accelerate product innovation next year

Glonghui June 4 – According to Reuters, Kraft Heinz plans to accelerate product innovation next year. The company's CEO revealed that they are ramping up investments to reverse years of continuous market share decline. Cahillane, who took the helm at Kraft Heinz in January this year, has allocated $600 million for marketing and R&D in 2024, aiming to reinvigorate innovation and revive the U.S. core business, which accounts for nearly 70% of the company’s sales. He stated that the situation will improve next year because many changes have been implemented in R&D, process improvements, and resource allocation, which will make the 2027 innovation pipeline even richer than in 2026. Cahillane did not disclose further details.
