The Kraft Heinz Company (“Kraft Heinz” or the “Company”)
announced today that it has completed the sale of its nuts business
to Hormel Foods Corporation in a cash transaction for $3.35

definitive agreement on Feb. 11, 2021, under which Kraft Heinz
would divest most products sold under the Planters brand, including
single variety and mixed nuts, trail mix, Nut-rition products,
Cheez Balls, and Cheez Curls, as well as Corn Nuts branded
products. The transaction also includes global intellectual
property rights to the Planters brand, subject to existing
third-party licenses in certain international jurisdictions, and to
the Corn Nuts brand.
“The sale of our Nuts portfolio is another important milestone
in our transformation,” said Kraft Heinz CEO Miguel Patricio. “The
divestiture is a great example of our agile portfolio management
and will help Kraft Heinz enhance our overall growth profile while
enabling our strategic focus.”
