Since the merger, Kraft Heinz has made an unsuccessful takeover approach for Unilever, recorded large brand write-downs, faced an accounting investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and reshaped its portfolio through acquisitions and divestitures. In September 2025, the company announced a proposed separation into two publicly traded companies. Its board paused work on the separation in February 2026, and Kraft Heinz said in May 2026 that the timing and completion of the proposal remained uncertain. [3]
