The transaction, confirmed today (5 October), has been made for an undisclosed sum. 

A spokesperson for Kraft told just-food: “We think that this deal fits well into the recently announced spin-off and relevant launch of a global snacking company, Mondelez International.”

The Oreo cookie producer, which still operates under Kraft Foods Europe on the Continent, will retain Italian production of low-fat Vitasnella biscuits, snacks and bread derivatives, Reuters reported.

Danone will keep the Vitasnella brand for yoghurt and cheese, the publication noted.
