July 7 is also Chocolate Day, a nod to the historical tradition that the day marks when chocolate was first brought to Europe on July 7, 1550, though a number of sources argue that it might have hit the continent’s shores as far back as 1504, thanks to Christopher Columbus.

  • Mondelēz Union Network
    Mondelēz Union Network What is ? Mondelez is a global snack foods company which came into being on October 2, 2012 when the former Kraft Foods Inc. was split into two, resulting in the creation of two separate companies, both headquartered in the USA. Mondelēz took the “snacks” products (biscuits, confectionery, salty crackers, nuts, gum, Tang), giving it about two-thirds the revenue of the former Kraft. The remaining “grocery” products were stuffed into a North American (only) company now known as Kraft Foods Group. Former Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld now heads up Mondelēz. If you worked for the former Kraft or one of its subsidiaries manufacturing or distributing snack products, including former Danone or Cadbury products, you now work for Mondelēz or one of its subsidiaries. In some countries, the name change will not be immediate.

Reports Third Quarter 2005 Results • Top-line momentum improves with net revenues up 4.4% and ongoing constant currency revenues up 3.6% • Diluted E.P.S. from continuing operations down 11.1% to $0.40 due to significantly higher commodity and energy costs and a prior year tax favorability; results in both years include $0.02 in exit and implementation costs for the restructuring program • Full-year 2005 earnings guidance reduced to $1.68 - $1.71, reflecting higher than expected energy, packaging and dairy costs NORTHFIELD, IL – October 18, 2005 – Kraft Foods Inc. (NYSE: KFT), a global leader in branded food and beverages, today announced third quarter 2005 results. Net revenues grew 4.4% in the quarter, with ongoing constant currency revenues up 3.6% from broad-based growth in North America, Europe and developing markets. Top-line growth reflected a balance of volume gains, positive product mix and commodity-driven price increases. Despite the solid top-line growth, third quarter diluted earnings per share from continuing operations declined 11.1% to $0.40 due to higher commodity and energy costs and a prior year tax favorability. As a result of higher than projected commodity costs that continue to impact the overall food industry, as well as the company’s decision to balance top-line growth and cost recovery through pricing, full- year 2005 guidance for diluted earnings per share was reduced to $1.68 - $1.71 from $1.73 - $1.78.
