Kraft and Heinz are two of America’s most iconic food brands. On paper, combining them looked like a home run, especially with Buffett’s backing. Instead, the union began unraveling almost immediately. This is the story of how two iconic brands with opposite strategies — one built on serial acquisitions, the other on ruthless efficiency — slowly undermined each other.

After years of stalled growth, shareholder pain, and even announcing a full split, Kraft Heinz’s new CEO is now pulling back from that plan and arguing the company is still fixable — turning this from a simple breakup into a case study in how even the most “sure-fire” mergers can fail, and what it could take to unwind them.

A special thanks to Professor Paul Nary and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
