Nine years after its megamerger, food behemoth Kraft Heinz is facing challenging times amid slumping sales, high inflation, a shift away from processed foods and stiff competition. Despite $27 billion in annual sales, the company must keep innovating if it wants to compete with private-label brands such as Costco's Kirkland or Wegmans' various brands which are quickly stealing market share as recent generations value lower prices over loyalty. With a new CEO, a renewed focus on core brands, and Brazilian private equity company 3G out of the picture, majority stakeholder Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is betting it can make a comeback. But experts say it could be difficult.

11:37 Chapter 3. Industry Risks
Clarification: At 4:12 a speaker in this video misstated the relationship between 3G and Kraft. 3G owned Heinz prior to the Kraft Heinz merger.

The brand is known for affordable food. Hotdogs, Kraft Mac and Cheese, etc, etc. Their prices don't reflect that and they lost touch with their consumers. Mac and cheese used to be a cheap meal a mom could put on for their kid when they came home for lunch from school. Now it's fine dining with the cost of their products.

@@TheBooban Depends on the chain behind the private label and the kind of product. Some chains even own their own production facilities. Some work with well etablished mega corps, some with smaller producers. But plenty of products have different recipes than the name brand product their derived from. While some of those recipes are better, some are worse and for some products like dairy the distinction isn't measureable.

These products are not cheaper than local alternatives. I noticed the cost in sandwich meat because I eat it everyday for lunch. I went to my local deli (I live in Louisiana) and noticed that a pound of fresh meat sliced is cheaper than than Kraft processed. Same with cheese singles. I am not saying everything local is cheaper, but I noticed that this processed stuff and other Kraft products costs more than better quality ingredients. The only downside is that they don't last on shelf as long, but like I eat it all before it goes bad.

These are Engineering / R&D technical folks who work on innovation. That was the real loss - the experienced talent needed to innovate at that scale.

Except there's one problem: Kraft changed all of their recipes...for the worse. Kraft Mac & Cheese tastes like cardboard. Kraft Cheese Singles used to actually be cheese-like but now turns into a puddle of goo when doing a basic grilled cheese sandwich. And the flavor is off. I'm not alone in this assessment - it's universally recognized that Kraft and Heinz food is different in a bad way. Is it any wonder that no one wants to buy their food products when they've actively ruined them? Go back to the old formulations, stop using HFCS and corn syrup, stop charging through the nose for basic food supplies, and you'll get people interested again in the product line.

The opening says it all. With these companies you one have you have to advertise to keep the brand in the zeitgeist of the public and the consumer of all ages, two you have to offer value, three you have to offer new products. These are basic concepts that the leadership at both companies seem to have forgotten.

Buffet overvalued the few marquee brands these companies own and failed to realize that the majority of the business stems from selling lesser known branded products at a higher price point. Like if Im buying yellow plastic cheese for a bbq, i'm not gonna care whether or not theyre 'Kraft Singles' - i will literally buy whatevers cheapest. Like yes, coca cola tastes better than no name brand cola, but it gets to a point where you opt for the basics when these products become luxuries

Buffet thought selling food was a simple business. He didn’t know the managers are fiddling with the ingredients and quality to push profits. Like all big US companies, eventually the penny pinchers come in and profit off the reputation of what the company was before they came.

Like too many companies. They didn't invest in themselves. They just kept going with cost cutting until it was too much. If you don't slow down and reinvest you will cause business problems for yourself. Too many growing small business do the same thing.

Elevating food experiences? What a bunch of marketing BS! No wonder they aren't doing well. I don't think I buy many of their products. I'm on Social Security so I don't have much money. It's all the cheapest for me, generally generics. And I did not grow up with boxed Mac n Cheese. My mother made it from scratch, thank you. I can't stand fake pasteurized processed cheese food.

The damage is already done. They fired thousands and thousands and thousands of tenured people, destroyed customer relationships, raised prices to cover unwarranted executive pay, and sold off the only natural things in the portfolio. Plant based is the biggest meme of all time at the grocery store, it doesn't sell, isn't BYND in bankruptcy? Private label will continue to grow, and retailers will just use branded to fund low margins on their PL lines with slotting fees or just margin up on branded to the point that no one will buy it.

The last thing Kraft needs to do is acquire more companies--that's the problem with their obsessive need to merge or acquire other companies. This began with Dart Industries, then Philip Morris, then General Foods, then Nabisco, and then Heinz. Maybe they should just focus on their current brands instead of coveting other companies' brands, and thinking that's going to be the solution to their woes?

French's came out with a ketchup a number of years ago that wasn't made with HFCS and it had a much better taste than Heinz. Competition drove it off the market, which sucks.
@amandaboutourline4070
@amandaboutourline4070 Месяц назад
Not to mention that every time Kraft acquires an existing brand, that product's quality decreases. Kraft Heinz would be wise to remember the most basic rule of producing food products: if it doesn't taste good, people won't buy it. I really miss the old taste of Lea & Perrins, Grey Poupon, etc. They are just over salted and under seasoned now that they're owned by Kraft.
@Dr.Kananga
@Dr.Kananga День назад
There's only so much you can market and sell of processed food in these years, and Kraft is running out of ideas simply because customers have changed. Kraft should have opened a chain business selling their iconic products such as Mac n Cheese dishes and Kool Aid drinks to undercut fast-food price increases.
