The proposed split would follow recent board changes aimed at boosting shareholder value, with the grocery unit accounting for 55% of sales ($14B) and the Taste Elevation division contributing the remaining 45% ($11B). Key brands in the grocery unit would include Kraft, Oscar Mayer, and Lunchables, while the Taste Elevation arm would feature Heinz and Philadelphia.
