Background and Basis of Presentation	'
	Background and Basis of Presentation
	Our interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. 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. It is management’s opinion that these financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position and operating results.
	The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 28, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. You should read these statements in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013.
	New Accounting Pronouncements:
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update that modifies the criteria for reporting the disposal of a component of an entity as discontinued operations. In addition, the standard requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The update will be effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
	Subsequent Events:
	We evaluate subsequent events and reflect accounting and disclosure requirements related to material subsequent events in our financial statements and related notes. We did not identify any material subsequent events impacting our financial statements in this report.

	Non-amortizing intangible assets consist primarily of indefinite-lived trademarks. Amortizing intangible assets consist primarily of process technology agreements. At March 29, 2014, the weighted average life of our amortizing intangible assets was 5.8 years. Amortization expense was insignificant for the three months ended March 29, 2014. We currently estimate annual amortization expense to be insignificant for each of the next five years.
	During our 2013 intangible asset impairment review, we noted that a $261 million trademark within our Enhancers business had an excess fair value over its carrying value of 12%. As of March 29, 2014, we reviewed this trademark for a triggering event and noted that the results and our expectations supporting this trademark are consistent with our 2013 analysis. While this trademark passed the first step of the impairment test, if the trademark's forecasted operating income were to decline significantly, the estimated fair value of the trademark could be adversely affected, leading to a potential impairment of a portion of the trademark in the future.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]	'
Cost Savings Initiatives	'
	Cost Savings Initiatives
	Cost savings initiatives are related to reorganization activities including severance, asset disposals, and other activities that do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. Included within cost savings initiatives are activities related to the previously disclosed multi-year $625 million restructuring program (the "Restructuring Program").
	Restructuring Program:
	Our Restructuring Program consists of approximately $270 million of restructuring costs, approximately $285 million of implementation costs, and approximately $70 million of transition costs related to our spin-off from Mondelēz International, Inc. on October 1, 2012 (the "Spin-Off"). We expect approximately one-half of the total Restructuring Program costs will be cash expenditures. Restructuring costs reflect primarily severance, asset disposals, a voluntary early retirement program, and other manufacturing-related costs. Implementation costs are directly attributable to the Restructuring Program; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. These costs primarily relate to reorganization costs associated with our sales function, the information systems infrastructure, and accelerated depreciation on assets. The Spin-Off transition costs have not been allocated to the segments because they consist mostly of professional service fees within the finance, legal, and information systems functions.
	As of March 29, 2014, we have incurred Restructuring Program costs of $589 million since the inception of the Restructuring Program. We have spent $272 million in cash. We spent cash of $11 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014 and $40 million in the three months ended March 30, 2013 related to our Restructuring Program. We did not incur any non-cash costs in the three months ended March 29, 2014. However, we reduced our restructuring costs liability by $2 million in the three months ended March 29, 2014. We incurred non-cash costs of $71 million in the three months ended March 30, 2013. We expect to complete the Restructuring Program by the end of 2014.
	We recorded expenses related to our cost savings initiatives in the consolidated financial statements as follows:

	On December 17, 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a $3.0 billion share repurchase program with no expiration date. Under the share repurchase program, we are authorized to repurchase shares of our common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of share repurchases are subject to management's evaluation of market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other factors. We are not obligated to repurchase any of our common stock and may suspend the program at our discretion. As of March 29, 2014, we have repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares for approximately $124 million under this program. Approximately $11 million of the $124 million shares repurchased were accrued as of March 29, 2014 and subsequently settled in April 2014.

	Stock Plans
	Under the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan, we may grant eligible employees awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as well as performance based long-term incentive awards (“Performance Shares”).
	Stock Options:
	In February 2014, as part of our annual equity program, we granted 2.3 million stock options to eligible employees at an exercise price of $55.17 per share. During the three months ended March 29, 2014, 1.2 million stock options were exercised with a total value of $27 million.
	Restricted Stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares:
	In aggregate, we granted 1.5 million RSUs and Performance Shares during the three months ended March 29, 2014 at a weighted average market value per share of $56.82.
	In February 2014, we granted the following RSUs and Performance Shares:
	•	As part of our equity compensation program, we granted 0.5 million RSUs at a market value of $55.17 per share.
	•	We also granted 0.8 million Performance Shares at a grant date fair value of $59.97 per share as part of our equity compensation program. These awards measure performance over a multi-year period, during which the employee earns shares based on internal financial metrics and the performance of our stock relative to a defined peer group. We measured the grant date fair value using the Monte Carlo simulation model, which assists in estimating the probability of achieving the market conditions stipulated in the award grant.
	•	We granted 0.1 million additional Performance Shares with a weighted average market value of $34.37 per share (based on the original award date), which vested immediately. We granted these shares based on the final business performance rating for the 2011-2013 award cycle. These shares were adjusted and converted into new equity awards using a formula designed to preserve the value of the awards immediately prior to the Spin-Off.
	During the three months ended March 29, 2014, we granted 0.1 million additional RSUs at a weighted average market value per share of $54.88.
	During the three months ended March 29, 2014, 1.0 million shares of restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares vested at an aggregate market value of $55 million.

	We remeasure all of our postemployment benefit plans at least annually at the end of our fiscal year. As a result of the remeasurement as of December 28, 2013, we capitalized an aggregate benefit of $34 million from market-based impacts related to our pension plans into inventory consistent with our capitalization policy. As of March 29, 2014, the entire $34 million of benefit previously capitalized has been recognized in cost of sales and is included in actuarial gains in the table above.
	The special termination benefits in 2013 were associated with our voluntary early retirement program and were included in our Restructuring Program costs.
	Employer Contributions:
	During the three months ended March 29, 2014, we contributed $6 million to our U.S. pension plans and $3 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. Based on our contribution strategy, we plan to make further contributions of approximately $150 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $40 million to our non-U.S. plans during the remainder of 2014. However, our actual contributions may differ due to many factors, including changes in tax and other benefit laws, tax deductibility, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates, or other factors.

	Level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity futures and options contracts and are valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
	Level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of commodity forwards and foreign exchange forwards. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the observable market commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on observable market forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Our calculation of the fair value of financial instruments takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.

	Commitments, Contingencies and Debt
	Legal Proceedings:
	We are routinely involved in legal proceedings, claims, and governmental inquiries, inspections or investigations (“Legal Matters”) arising in the ordinary course of our business.
	We have been advised by the staff of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) that they are investigating activities related to the trading of December 2011 wheat futures contracts.  These activities arose prior to the Spin-Off and involve the business now owned and operated by Mondelēz International or its affiliates.  We are cooperating with the staff in its investigation.  While the staff has advised us that they are prepared to recommend that the Commission consider commencing a formal action, we and Mondelēz International are seeking to resolve this matter prior to any formal action being taken.  Our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Mondelēz International dated as of September 27, 2012, governs the allocation between Kraft and Mondelēz International and, accordingly, Mondelēz International will predominantly bear the costs of this matter and any monetary penalties or other payments that the CFTC may impose.  We do not expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
	While we cannot predict with certainty the results of Legal Matters in which we are currently involved or may in the future be involved, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve any of the Legal Matters that are currently pending will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
	Third-Party Guarantees:
	We have third-party guarantees primarily covering long-term obligations related to leased properties. The carrying amount of our third-party guarantees on our consolidated balance sheet was $23 million at March 29, 2014 and $24 million at December 28, 2013. The maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $51 million at March 29, 2014 and $53 million at December 28, 2013. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2027.
	Fair Value of our Debt:
	The fair value of our long-term debt was determined using Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for the publicly traded debt obligations. The aggregate fair value of our total debt was $10.9 billion as compared with the carrying value of $10.0 billion at March 29, 2014. At December 28, 2013, the aggregate fair value of our total debt was $10.7 billion as compared with the carrying value of $10.0 billion.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]	'
Segment Reporting	'
	Segment Reporting
	We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including cheese, refrigerated meals, refreshment beverages, coffee, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. We manage and report our operating results through six reportable segments: Cheese, Refrigerated Meals, Beverages, Meals & Desserts, Enhancers & Snack Nuts, and Canada. Our remaining businesses, including our Foodservice and Exports businesses, are aggregated and disclosed as “Other Businesses”.
	Management uses segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. We believe it is appropriate to disclose this measure to help investors analyze segment performance and trends. Segment operating income excludes unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities, certain components of our postemployment benefit plans, and general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) for all periods presented.
	We also exclude the unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales) from segment operating income in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Once realized, the gains and losses on hedging activities are recorded within segment operating results.
	We exclude certain components of our postemployment benefit plans (which are a component of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) from segment operating income because we centrally manage postemployment benefit plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rate, expected rate of return on plan assets, and other actuarial assumptions. We also manage market-based impacts to these benefit plans centrally. Therefore, we allocate only the service cost component of our pension plan expense to segment operating income.
	Furthermore, we centrally manage interest and other expense, net. Accordingly, we do not present these items by segment because they are excluded from the segment profitability measure that management reviews.
	Our segment net revenues and earnings consisted of:

New Accounting Pronouncements	'
	New Accounting Pronouncements:
	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard update that modifies the criteria for reporting the disposal of a component of an entity as discontinued operations. In addition, the standard requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The update will be effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
