Kraft Heinz looking at M&A opportunities as packaged foods demand slows

The company has been looking for potential merger and acquisition opportunities "over the past several months", chief executive officer Carlos Abrams-Rivera said in a statement. Consumers are turning to healthier processed food products and a surge in the use of weight-loss drugs has also cast a shadow on demand for packaged foods. Additionally, tariffs were adding to Kraft's woes as it lowered its annual organic sales and profit forecasts last month.
