Kraft Heinz CEO Miguel Patricio said, “As one of the largest
food and beverage companies in the world, Kraft Heinz is committed
to doing our part to end global hunger. We partner with local,
national and international organizations and promote employee
volunteerism to give back. This employee-led initiative to pack one
million meals in 24 hours speaks to our commitment as a company and
individually as members of our communities to help eliminate food
insecurity.”
Each meal includes micronutrient powders containing 23 essential
vitamins and minerals – developed by Kraft Heinz food science and
nutrition experts – as well as rice, soy, and vegetables. Each
serving of micronutrients provides an entire day’s worth of
nutrition for healthy growth and development, and has been proven
effective in preventing and treating iron-deficiency anemia and
other vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
