Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted, in accordance with the rules of the SEC. In management’s opinion, these interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary to fairly state our results for the periods presented. We operate on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December in each calendar year. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to years and quarters contained herein pertain to our fiscal years and fiscal quarters. Our 2026 fiscal year is scheduled to be a 52-week period ending on December 26, 2026, and our 2025 fiscal year was a 52-week period that ended on December 27, 2025. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data at December 27, 2025 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of future or annual results. Principles of Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include The Kraft Heinz Company and all of our controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. Reportable Segments We manage our operating results through four operating segments: North America, Europe and Pacific Developed Markets (“EPDM” or “International Developed Markets”), West and East Emerging Markets (“WEEM”), and Asia Emerging Markets (“AEM”). We have two reportable segments defined by geographic region: North America and International Developed Markets. Our remaining operating segments, consisting of WEEM and AEM, are combined and disclosed as Emerging Markets. Use of Estimates We prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, reserves, and expenses. These accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions are based on our best estimates and judgments. We evaluate our policy elections, estimates, and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. We believe these estimates to be reasonable given the current facts available. We adjust our policy elections, estimates, and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Market volatility, including foreign currency exchange rates, increases the uncertainty inherent in our estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates. If actual amounts differ from estimates, we include the revisions in our consolidated results of operations in the period the actual amounts become known. Historically, the aggregate differences, if any, between our estimates and actual amounts in any year have not had a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Reclassifications We made reclassifications and adjustments to certain previously reported financial information to conform to our current period presentation. Held for Sale As of March 28, 2026, assets classified as held for sale were insignificant. As of December 27, 2025, we classified certain assets and liabilities as held for sale in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, primarily relating to the divestiture of our infant and specialty food business in Italy in our International Developed Markets segment. See Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures, for additional information. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents include term deposits with banks, money market funds, and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The fair value of cash equivalents approximates the carrying amount. Cash and cash equivalents that are legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage are classified in other current assets or other non-current assets, as applicable, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At March 28, 2026, we had restricted cash of $165 million recorded in other current assets and restricted cash of $143 million recorded in other non-current assets. At December 27, 2025, we had restricted cash of $164 million recorded in other current assets and restricted cash of $165 million recorded in other non-current assets. Total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash was $3,616 million at March 28, 2026 and $2,944 million at December 27, 2025.
