SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and provides an overview of our company, our separation from Mondelz
International and Mondelz International's distribution of our common stock to Mondelz International's shareholders. For a more complete
understanding of our business and the Spin-Off, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, particularly the discussion set forth under "Risk
Factors" in this prospectus, and our audited and unaudited condensed historical combined financial statements and unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements and the notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.
Unless otherwise indicated, references in this prospectus to fiscal years are to our fiscal years ended December 31.
In this prospectus, unless the context otherwise requires:

· "Kraft Foods Group," "we," "our," "us" and the "issuer" refer to Kraft Foods Group, Inc. and its combined subsidiaries, and

· "Mondelz International" refers to Mondelz International, Inc. (formerly known as Kraft Foods Inc.) and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Our Company
We are one of the largest consumer packaged food and beverage companies in North America and one of the largest worldwide among publicly
traded consumer packaged food and beverage companies, based on our 2011 combined net revenues of $18.7 billion. We manufacture and market
food and beverage products, including refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages and coffee, cheese and other grocery products, primarily in the
United States and Canada, under a host of iconic brands. Our product categories span breakfast, lunch and dinner meal occasions, both at home and
in foodservice locations.
Our diverse brand portfolio consists of many of the most popular food brands in North America, including three brands with annual net
revenues exceeding $1 billion each--Kraft cheeses, dinners and dressings; Oscar Mayer meats; and Maxwell House coffees--plus over 20 brands
with annual net revenues of between $100 million and $1 billion each. In the United States, based on dollar share in 2011, we hold the number one
branded share position in a majority of our 50 product categories, as well as in 18 of our top 20 product categories. These 18 product categories
contributed approximately 75% of our 2011 U.S. retail net revenues. We hold the number two branded share position in the other two product
categories.
We believe our competitive strengths include our:

· superior brand portfolio,

· significant scale in North America,

· diverse category profile,

· reputation for high quality products,

· strong innovation culture and pipeline,

· deep consumer knowledge,

· long-standing relationships with major retailers, and

· experienced management team.

1

Table of Contents
As a result of these strengths, combined with our ongoing focus on productivity and operating efficiency, we believe we have achieved
category-leading profit margins in almost all of our key product categories. Our business has generated significant cash flow, which we believe will
enable us to continue to invest in the development and continual rejuvenation of our brands and return value to our shareholders. Our goal as an
independent public company is to deliver superior operating income, strong cash flows and a highly competitive dividend payout while driving
revenue growth in our key product categories. To achieve this goal, we intend to build on our leading market positions, remain sharply focused on
cost structure and superior execution and invest in employee and organization excellence.
Separation from Mondelz International Inc. and Related Transactions
On August 4, 2011, Mondelz International announced plans to create two independent public companies: the Global Snacks Business and the
North American Grocery Business. On October 1, 2012, we and Mondelz International effected the Spin-Off to complete this plan. To effect this
separation, Mondelz International distributed all of Kraft Foods Group's common stock to Mondelz International's shareholders on October 1,
2012. Kraft Foods Group, holding the North American Grocery Business, is now an independent, publicly traded company.
Prior to Mondelz International's distribution of the shares of our common stock to its shareholders, Mondelz International undertook a series
of internal transactions, following which:
(i) Mondelz International now holds:

(a)
its U.S. and Canadian snacks and confectionery business, including the related foodservice operations, but excluding the Planters
and Corn Nuts businesses, which we refer to collectively as the "Snacks Business Lines," and

(b)
all of its businesses conducted outside of the United States and Canada, except for the North American Grocery Export Business
described below (we refer to these businesses and the Snacks Business Lines collectively as the "Global Snacks Business"), and
(ii) we now hold:

(a)
Mondelz International's former U.S. and Canadian grocery, beverages, cheese, refrigerated meals, Planters and Corn Nuts

businesses, including the related foodservice operations and the grocery business operations in Puerto Rico (excluding the
powdered and liquid concentrate beverages businesses in Puerto Rico), which we refer to collectively as the "Grocery Business
Lines," and

(b)
Mondelz International's former export operations related to the Grocery Business Lines in the United States and Canada, except
for the Philadelphia cream cheese and certain powdered and liquid concentrate beverage businesses in a number of jurisdictions

and the businesses related to certain branded products that Mondelz International will market and sell in a limited number of
countries outside of the United States and Canada (we refer to these export operations collectively as the "North American
Grocery Export Business" and to the Grocery Business Lines and the North American Grocery Export Business collectively as
the "North American Grocery Business").
The Snacks Business Lines' products are generally consistent with those types of products sold by the businesses conducted within Mondelz
International's U.S. Snacks segment, excluding the Planters and Corn Nuts businesses, as reported in Mondelz International's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, or "Mondelz International's Form 10-K." The Grocery Business Lines' products are generally
consistent with those types of products sold by (i) the businesses conducted within Mondelz

2

Table of Contents
International's U.S. Beverages, U.S. Cheese, U.S. Convenient Meals and U.S. Grocery segments, in each case, as reported in Mondelz
International's Form 10-K, and (ii) the Planters and Corn Nuts businesses. In addition, certain specified net liabilities were allocated between
Mondelz International and us as described under "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions--Agreements with Mondelz International
--Separation and Distribution Agreement."
On September 27, 2012, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with Mondelz International (the "Separation and
Distribution Agreement") and several other agreements with Mondelz International related to the Spin-Off. These agreements govern the
relationship between Mondelz International and us prior to and after completion of the Spin-Off and allocate between Mondelz International and us
various assets, liabilities and obligations, including employee benefits, intellectual property and tax-related assets and liabilities. See "Certain
Relationships and Related Party Transactions--Agreements with Mondelz International" for more detail.
To complete the Spin-Off, Mondelz International, following the Internal Reorganization, distributed to its shareholders all of the shares of our
common stock. The Distribution occurred on October 1, 2012. Each holder of Mondelz International common stock received one share of our
common stock for every three shares of Mondelz International common stock it held on September 19, 2012 (the "Record Date"). Each holder of
Mondelz International common stock continued to hold its shares in Mondelz International.
We refer to:

· the series of internal transactions described under "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions--Agreements with Mondelz
International--Separation and Distribution Agreement" that resulted in this division of businesses as the "Internal Reorganization,"

· Mondelz International's distribution of the shares of our common stock to its shareholders as the "Distribution" and October 1, 2012, the
date on which the Distribution took place, as the "Distribution Date," and

· the Internal Reorganization and the Distribution collectively as the "Spin-Off," which was consummated on October 1, 2012. Coincident
with the Spin-Off, Kraft Foods Inc. changed its name to Mondelz International, Inc.
On October 29, 2012, our Board of Directors approved a $650 million restructuring program consisting of restructuring costs, implementation
costs and Spin-Off transition costs ("Restructuring Program"). Approximately one-half of the total Restructuring Program costs are expected to result
in cash expenditures. The Restructuring Program is part of, and its costs are consistent with, a restructuring program previously announced by
Mondelz International prior to the Spin-Off. The primary objective of the Restructuring Program activities is to ensure that we are set up to operate
efficiently and execute our business strategy as a stand-alone company. We expect to complete the program by the end of 2014. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis--Overview--Basis of Presentation" for more detail.
We were initially organized as a Delaware corporation in 1980. In March 2012, we redomesticated to Virginia and changed our name from
"Kraft Foods Global, Inc." to "Kraft Foods Group, Inc." Our principal executive offices are located at Three Lakes Drive, Northfield, IL 60093. Our
telephone number is (847) 646-2000.
