Timothy Bird+FollowKraft Heinz’s Big Brand Breakup?Heard at the coffee machine: Kraft Heinz might split up its famous brands like Velveeta and Oscar Mayer, basically hitting undo on their big 2015 merger. Why? Shoppers are ditching pricey packaged foods, and the healthy eating wave isn’t helping. If they go through with it, you might see your favorite ketchup and cheese brands owned by totally different companies soon. Will this actually help Kraft Heinz bounce back? Only if someone’s willing to buy the pieces! #Business #KraftHeinz #FoodNews52Share

Bummer if you were already planning your order! Guess we’ll have to stick to Lexington for that Andy’s fix. #Food #LouisvilleEats #FoodNews00Share

Bryan Grant+FollowWill Your Snacks Get Pricier After This Mega Merger?Snack lovers, heads up! Mars (yep, the M&Ms and Snickers folks) wants to scoop up Pringles and Pop-Tarts in a $35.9 billion deal.
