[edit] Former brands
Could we have a list of their former brands? (i.e. Celestial seasonings)
[edit] Chocolate and slavery link
I don't think the link to that Wikinfo article belongs here. Why? Firstly, it has nothing to do with Kraft. Secondly, putting the link elsewhere than appropriate articles like chocolate, slavery or chocolate and slavery is absurd. Slavery is bad but we should keep all external links strictly in context, not venture off to non or very little related subjects.
I can't help getting the feeling that some people want to promote the awareness of chocolate and how it's related to slavery by adding these links to company articles... Wikipedia is not the place for that. --Thorri 10:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Position of Kraft in the Industry
I think Kraft Foods is now the world's second largest food and beverage company as Unilever Bestfoods are selling brands, as part of their strategy to reduce brands from thousands to about 400. - Obin 3391 01:19, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
- It's stated as the third-largest, I'm confused as to what you're talking about. And Kraft has only stated that they're reducing about 10% of their brands, not slashing it in half (which would terrify the stockholders, I'd imagine) -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 02:50, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
- You misunderstood me. The one who's slashing their brands is Unilever as they have a lot of brands in the same category (but most of them are in the personal care and home care section). Kraft's sales are climbing up as they are launching health-conscious products like Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs or the extension of the Back to Nature line or their fortified Kraft Dinners, Tang powdered beverages and tons of products or their huge investment in Boca Burgers. So, Kraft is the second largest food and beverage company in the world. According to Kraft 2004 Annual Report, they've experienced a sales growth of 5.5% to $32,168 billion despite restructuring efforts. According to PepsiCo 2004 Annual Report (sorry for using an annual report of an unrelated company), Kraft is the second largest food and beverage company based on sales except food ingredients, pet food and agricultural products. Nestle has almost twice of Kraft's sales and PepsiCo is the third largest company while Unilever is fourth with almost $28 billion sales. - Obin 3391 13:52, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kraft Foods Products
I think the sections Kraft in UK, Australia and Canada must be merged to Products because they are all about products! - Obin 3391 10:01, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History?
I think this page certainly needs to have a History section at the beginning, instead of diving into some controveries, esp if its one of the largest food companies in the world! Hillsboro 16:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

- I agree. Come on ya'll this article is nothing without a history section. It sounds like a pamphlet from the company right now, not an informative encyclopedia article...I would attempt to add but I know nothing of this. I however feel SOMEONE here must...--Donnie from the mean streets of Boston, KY 15:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] News
Is it alright if I return the Kraft foods in the news section and added to the list of former brands? Samuel 16:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Other meaning for 'Kft.'
I was redirected to this page while looking for 'Kft.' or 'Korlátolt Felelõsségû Társaság' which is an acronym for hungarian equivalent of the 'Limited Liability Company'.
Could someone create a disambiguation page for this (I don't know how).
[edit] Knudsen cottage cheese
I "prodded" this article, and someone suggested that it be merged here. I have added it to the list of Kraft brands and noted that it is a brand of cottage cheese and sour cream (from the Kraft site). I think that is about all the useful content, and I think the stub article can now be removed. (Knudsen is not only available in California; according to the Kraft product locator, it is available in a Walmart Supercenter in MD, for example. Whether it is principally a California brand, I don't know.) Brianyoumans 18:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What about coffee?
There is nothing about coffee? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 89.32.108.226 (talk)
[edit] History
What about its history? I mean, a 100+ year-old company with nothing about its history on it? Who can put the Phenix Cheese thing or the Nabisco acquisition in this article? And, please remove the brands of Kraft in the article, it's too many already. -- 202.81.173.192 09:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
