Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business: Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (“Kraft Foods Group,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) manufactures and markets food and beverage products, including cheese, meats, refreshment beverages, coffee, packaged dinners, refrigerated meals, snack nuts, dressings, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. Our product categories span breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal occasions. On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International, Inc. (“Mondelēz International,” formerly known as Kraft Foods Inc.) created us as an independent public company through a spin-off of its North American grocery business to Mondelēz International’s shareholders (the “Spin-Off”). Mondelēz International distributed 592 million shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock to Mondelēz International’s shareholders. Holders of Mondelēz International common stock received one share of Kraft Foods Group common stock for every three shares of Mondelēz International common stock held on September 19, 2012. Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Kraft Foods Group, as well as our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. Our period end date for financial reporting purposes is the last Saturday of the fiscal year, which aligns with the financial close dates of our operating segments. Prior to the Spin-Off on October 1, 2012, our financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Mondelēz International. Our financial statements included certain expenses of Mondelēz International that were allocated to us for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, compliance, shared services, insurance, employee benefits and incentives, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated in our historical results of operations on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, operating income, or headcount. We consider the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations were not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses we would have incurred as an independent public company or of the costs we will incur in the future, and may differ substantially from the allocations we agreed to in the various separation agreements. Use of Estimates: We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions that affect a number of amounts in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. 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 consolidated financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We value all our inventories using the average cost method. Long-Lived Assets: Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and buildings and improvements over periods up to 40 years . Capitalized software costs are included in property, plant and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software, which do not exceed seven years . We review long-lived assets for impairment when conditions exist that indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Such conditions include significant adverse changes in the business climate, current-period operating or cash flow losses, significant declines in forecasted operations, or a current expectation that an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. We perform undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if an impairment exists. When testing for impairment of assets held for use, we group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If an impairment is determined to exist, the loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. Goodwill and Intangible Assets : We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or when a triggering event occurs. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the reporting unit’s estimated fair value with its carrying value. We estimate a reporting unit’s fair value using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates, estimates of residual value, and estimates of market multiples. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, the second step would be applied to measure the difference between the carrying value and implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the goodwill would be considered impaired and would be reduced to its implied fair value. We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying value. Fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates, and estimates of royalty rates. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, the intangible asset would be considered impaired and would be reduced to fair value. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units or intangible assets requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry and economic conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected revenues and income, interest rates, cost of capital, royalty rate, and tax rates. Insurance and Self-Insurance: We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, product liability, and our obligation for employee health care benefits. We estimate the liabilities associated with these risks by considering historical claims experience and other actuarial assumptions. Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenues when title and risk of loss pass to our customers. We record revenues net of consumer incentives and trade promotions and include all shipping and handling charges billed to customers. We also record provisions for estimated product returns and customer allowances as reductions to revenues within the same period that the revenue is recognized. We base these estimates principally on historical and current period experience, however, it is reasonably likely that actual experiences will vary from the estimates we make. Marketing and Research and Development: We promote our products with advertising and consumer promotions, consumer incentives, and trade promotions. Consumer incentives and trade promotions include, but are not limited to, discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, and volume-based incentives. Consumer incentive and trade promotion activities are recorded as a reduction to revenues based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. We base these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. For interim reporting purposes, we charge advertising and consumer promotion expenses to operations as a percentage of volume, based on estimated volume and related expense for the full year. We review and adjust these estimates each quarter based on actual experience and other information. Advertising expense was $652 million in 2014, $747 million in 2013, and $640 million in 2012. We record marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expense, except for consumer incentives and trade promotions, which are recorded in net revenues. We expense costs as incurred for product research and development within selling, general and administrative expenses. Research and development expense was $149 million in 2014, $142 million in 2013, and $143 million in 2012. The amounts disclosed in prior periods have been revised to exclude market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans and certain other costs that are not directly associated with our research and development activities. The impacts of these revisions to the disclosure were not material to any prior period. Environmental Costs: We are subject to various laws and regulations in the United States and Canada relating to the protection of the environment. We accrue for environmental remediation obligations on an undiscounted basis when amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are adjusted based on new information or as circumstances change. We record recoveries of environmental remediation costs from third parties as assets when we believe these amounts are receivable. As of December 27, 2014, we were involved in 56 active proceedings in the United States under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (and other similar state actions and legislation) related to our current operations and certain closed, inactive or divested operations for which we retain liability. As of December 27, 2014, we had accrued an amount we deemed appropriate for environmental remediation. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results from operations. However, we cannot quantify with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remediation actions. Postemployment Benefit Plans: We provide a range of benefits to our eligible employees and retirees. These include defined benefit pension, postretirement health care, defined contribution, and multiemployer pension and medical benefits. Our pension, postretirement, and other postemployment (collectively, “postemployment”) benefit plans cover most salaried and certain hourly employees. The cost of these plans is charged to expense over the working life of the covered employees. We account for defined benefit costs using a mark-to-market policy. Under this accounting method, we recognize net actuarial gains or losses and changes in the fair value of plan assets in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses immediately upon remeasurement, which is at least annually. Financial Instruments: As we operate primarily in North America but source our commodities on global markets and periodically enter into financing or other arrangements abroad, we use a variety of risk management strategies and financial instruments to manage commodity price, foreign currency exchange rate, and interest rate risks. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. One way we do this is through actively hedging our risks through the use of derivative instruments. As a matter of policy, we do not use highly leveraged derivative instruments, nor do we use financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivatives are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, which fluctuates based on changing market conditions. Certain derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings. For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) within equity until the underlying hedged items are recognized in net earnings. Accordingly, we record deferred cash flow hedge gains or losses in cost of sales when the related inventory is sold and in interest and other expense, net, when the related debt interest expense is recorded. Cash flows from derivative instruments are also classified in the same manner as the underlying hedged items in the consolidated statement of cash flows. For additional information on derivative activity within our operating results, see Note 10, Financial Instruments . To qualify for hedge accounting, a specified level of hedging effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged must be achieved at inception and maintained throughout the hedged period. Any hedging ineffectiveness is recognized in net earnings when the change in the value of the hedge does not offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. We formally document our risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, the nature of and relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items, and method for assessing hedge effectiveness. Additionally, for qualified hedges of forecasted transactions, we specifically identify the significant characteristics and expected terms of the forecasted transactions. If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the hedge will no longer be effective and all of the derivative gains or losses would be recognized in earnings in the current period. Unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as well as the ineffective portion of unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives designated as hedging instruments, are recorded in Corporate until realized. Once realized, the gains and losses are recorded within the applicable segment operating results. When we use financial instruments, we are exposed to credit risk that a counterparty might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of our agreement. We minimize our credit risk by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure we have with each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties. We also maintain a policy of requiring that all significant, non-exchange traded derivative contracts with a duration of greater than one year be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreement. We are also exposed to market risk as the value of our financial instruments might be adversely affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or interest rates. We manage market risk by incorporating monitoring parameters within our risk management strategy that limit the types of derivative instruments and derivative strategies we use and the degree of market risk that we hedge with derivative instruments. Commodity cash flow hedges – We are exposed to price risk related to forecasted purchases of certain commodities that we primarily use as raw materials. We enter into commodity forward contracts primarily for coffee beans, meat products, sugar, wheat, and dairy products. Commodity forward contracts generally are not subject to the accounting requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities under the normal purchases exception. We also use commodity futures and options to hedge the price of certain commodity costs, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean oils, sugar, and natural gas. Some of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We also sell commodity futures to unprice future purchase commitments, and we occasionally use related futures to cross-hedge a commodity exposure. Foreign currency cash flow hedges – We use various financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates from third-party and intercompany actual and forecasted transactions. These instruments may include forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency options. We primarily use these instruments to hedge our exposure to the Canadian dollar. Substantially all of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Interest rate cash flow hedges – We use derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. We primarily use interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of interest payment cash flows on a portion of our future debt obligations. Substantially all of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Income Taxes: We recognize income taxes based on amounts refundable or payable for the current year and record deferred tax assets or liabilities for any difference between U.S. GAAP accounting and tax reporting. We also recognize deferred tax assets for temporary differences, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Inherent in determining our annual tax rate are judgments regarding business plans, planning opportunities, and expectations about future outcomes. Realization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss and other carryforwards, is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior to the expiration of the carryforward periods. See Note 12, Income Taxes , for additional information. We apply a more-likely-than-not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, we recognize the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. Future changes in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions will affect earnings in the quarter of such change. New Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") that modified the criteria for reporting the disposal of a component of an entity as discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The ASU will be effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur during our fiscal year 2015 and thereafter. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance. Under the new ASU, an entity will apply a principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill by reportable segment at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 was: December 27, December 28, (in millions) Cheese $ 3,000 $ 3,000 Beverages & Snack Nuts 2,460 2,460 Refrigerated Meals 985 985 Meal Solutions 3,046 3,046 International 1,061 1,151 Other Businesses 852 863 Goodwill $ 11,404 $ 11,505 The change in Goodwill during 2014 of $101 million reflects the impact of foreign currency. Intangible assets consist primarily of indefinite-lived trademarks. Amortizing intangible assets were insignificant in both periods presented. We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or when a triggering event occurs. There were no impairments of goodwill or intangible assets in 2014, 2013, or 2012. During our annual 2014 indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment test, we noted that a $958 million trademark and a $261 million trademark within Meal Solutions had excess fair values over their carrying values of less than 20% . While these trademarks passed the 2014 impairment test, if our projections of future operating income were to decline, or if valuation factors outside of our control, such as discount rates, change unfavorably, the estimated fair value of one or both of these trademarks could be adversely affected, leading to a potential impairment in the future. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Debt Borrowing Arrangements: On May 29, 2014, we entered into a new $3.0 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on May 29, 2019 unless extended. The credit facility enables us to borrow up to $3.0 billion , which may be increased by up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate with the agreement of the lenders providing any increased commitments. All committed borrowings under the facility bear interest at a variable annual rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate or a defined base rate, at our election, plus an applicable margin based on the ratings of our long-term senior unsecured indebtedness. The credit facility requires us to maintain a minimum total shareholders’ equity (excluding accumulated other comprehensive income or losses and any income or losses recognized in connection with “mark-to-market” accounting in respect of pension and other retirement plans) of at least $2.4 billion and also contains customary representations, covenants, and events of default. At December 27, 2014 and for the year ended December 27, 2014, no amounts were drawn on this credit facility. The credit facility replaced our $3.0 billion five-year credit agreement dated as of May 18, 2012.

There were no preferred shares issued or outstanding at December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 or December 29, 2012. 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 shares of our common stock and may suspend the program at our discretion. In 2014, we repurchased approximately 13.1 million shares in the aggregate for approximately $746 million under this program. Approximately $6 million of the $746 million was accrued at December 27, 2014 and settled in the subsequent month. No shares were repurchased under this program in 2013. |

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |
Stock Plans | Stock Plans Under the Kraft Foods Group, Inc. 2012 Performance Incentive Plan (the "2012 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”). In addition, we may grant shares of our common stock to members of the Board of Directors who are not our full-time employees under the 2012 Plan. We are authorized to issue a maximum of 72.0 million shares of our common stock under the 2012 Plan. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the plan reduce the authorized shares available for issue at a ratio of one share per award granted. All other awards granted, such as restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares, reduce the authorized shares available for issue at a ratio of three shares per award granted. At December 27, 2014, there were 32,293,456 shares available to be granted under the 2012 Plan. All stock awards are issued to employees from authorized shares of common stock. Stock Options: Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying stock on the grant date, generally become exercisable in three annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, and have a maximum term of ten years . We account for our employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting using a modified Black-Scholes methodology to measure stock option expense at the grant date. The grant date fair value is amortized to expense over the vesting period. We recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $18 million in 2014, $18 million in 2013, and $5 million in 2012 subsequent to the Spin-Off. The deferred tax benefit recorded related to this compensation expense was $6 million in 2014, $6 million in 2013, and $2 million in 2012. The unamortized compensation expense related to our outstanding stock options was $15 million at December 27, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years . Our weighted average Black-Scholes fair value assumptions were as follows: Risk-Free Expected Life Expected Expected Grant Date Kraft Foods Group grants 2014 1.84 % 6 years 19.33 % 3.57 % $ 6.16 2013 1.04 % 6 years 19.40 % 4.26 % $ 4.41 Mondelēz International grants 2012 1.16 % 6 years 20.13 % 3.08 % $ 4.78 The risk-free interest rate represents the constant maturity U.S. government treasuries rate with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life is the period over which our employees are expected to hold their options. Due to the lack of historical data, we use the Safe Harbor method which uses the weighted average vesting period and the contractual term of the options to calculate the expected life. Volatility reflects a blended approach which uses historical movements in our stock price and in our peer group for a period commensurate with the expected life of the options. Dividend yield is estimated over the expected life of the options based on our stated dividend policy. The stock option awards granted in 2012 were prior to the Spin-Off. Therefore, we estimated the value of those awards based on Mondelēz International’s share price and assumptions. A summary of stock option activity related to our shares for both our and Mondelēz International employees for the year ended December 27, 2014 is presented below. Stock option activity for the year ended December 27, 2014 was: Options Outstanding Weighted Average Aggregate Balance at December 28, 2013 16,320,655 $ 35.26 Options granted 2,601,423 55.26 Options exercised (3,610,773 ) 32.08 Options canceled (441,139 ) 44.39 Balance at December 27, 2014 14,870,166 39.26 7 years $ 367 million Exercisable at December 27, 2014 9,666,165 34.02 6 years $ 289 million All awards granted prior to the Spin-Off have been adjusted to reflect the conversion as of the Spin-Off. With respect to the Mondelēz International stock options granted prior to the Spin-Off, the converted options retained the vesting schedule and expiration date of the original stock options. The total intrinsic value of our stock options exercised was $93 million in 2014, $69 million in 2013, and $8 million in 2012 subsequent to the Spin-Off. Cash received from options exercised was $115 million in 2014, $96 million in 2013, and $15 million in 2012. The incremental tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from the option exercises totaled $22 million in 2014, $20 million in 2013, and $1 million in 2012. Restricted Stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares: We may grant shares of restricted stock or RSUs to eligible employees and directors, giving them, in most instances, all of the rights of shareholders, except that they may not sell, assign, pledge, or otherwise encumber the shares. Shares of restricted stock and RSUs granted to employees are subject to forfeiture if certain employment conditions are not met. Restricted stock and RSUs generally vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. Performance Shares vest based on varying performance, market, and service conditions. Our Performance Shares pay accrued dividends at the time of vesting. Shares granted in connection with Mondelēz International’s long-term incentive plan prior to the Spin-Off do not pay dividends. The unvested shares have no voting rights. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares is amortized to earnings over the restriction period. We recorded compensation expense related to restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares of $77 million in 2014, $47 million in 2013, and $11 million in 2012 subsequent to the Spin-Off. The deferred tax benefit recorded related to this compensation expense was $28 million in 2014, $17 million in 2013, and $4 million in 2012. The unamortized compensation expense related to our restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares was $97 million at December 27, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years . Our restricted stock, RSU, and Performance Share activity for the year ended December 27, 2014 was: Number Weighted Average Balance at December 28, 2013 4,149,797 $ 44.99 Granted 1,697,965 57.49 Vested (1,424,627 ) 36.49 Forfeited (365,483 ) 51.52 Balance at December 27, 2014 4,057,652 52.62 In February 2014, as part of our equity compensation program: • We granted 0.5 million RSUs with a grant date fair value of $55.17 per share. • We granted 0.8 million Performance Shares with a grant date fair value of $59.97 per share. These awards measure performance over a multi-year period, during which the employee may earn 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 grant date fair value of $34.37 per share (based on the original 2011 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. Also during 2014, we granted 0.3 million off-cycle RSUs and Performance Shares with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $56.80 . During 2014, 1.4 million shares of restricted stock, RSUs, and Performance Shares vested with an aggregate fair value of $79 million . Prior to the Spin-Off, our employees participated in various Mondelēz International stock-based compensation plans. As such, we were allocated stock-based compensation expense of $39 million in 2012 associated with these plans. In connection with the Spin-Off, we were required to reimburse Mondelēz International for their stock awards that were granted to our employees, and Mondelēz International was required to reimburse us for our stock awards that were granted to their employees. We settled the net amount we owed for this reimbursement of $55 million in March 2013. |

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Postemployment Benefit Plans | Postemployment Benefit Plans We provide a range of benefits to our employees and retirees. These include pension benefits, postretirement health care benefits, and other postemployment benefits, as follows: • Pension benefits – We provide pension coverage to certain U.S. and non-U.S. employees through separate plans. Local statutory requirements govern many of these plans. Salaried and non-union hourly employees hired prior to 2009 in the U.S. and 2011 in Canada are eligible to participate in our pension plans. We will freeze U.S. pension plans for U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees who are currently earning pension benefits as of December 31, 2019 and non-U.S. pension plans for non-U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees who are currently earning pension benefits as of December 31, 2023. We will calculate the pension benefits using the continuing pay and service through December 31, 2019 for the U.S. plans and December 31, 2023 for the non-U.S. plans. The pension benefits of our unionized workers are in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement covering their employment. • Postretirement benefits – Our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries provide health care and other postretirement benefits to most retirees. U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees hired prior to 2004 and non-U.S. salaried and non-union hourly employees hired prior to 2007 are eligible to participate in our U.S. postretirement benefit plans. The postretirement benefits of our unionized workers are in accordance with the applicable collective bargaining agreement covering their employment. • Other postemployment benefits – Our other postemployment benefits consist primarily of severance. These plans cover most salaried and certain hourly employees, and their cost is charged to expense over the working life of the covered employees. Pension Plans Obligations and Funded Status: The projected benefit obligations, plan assets, and funded status of our pension plans at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans December 27, December 28, December 27, December 28, (in millions) Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 5,978 $ 7,130 $ 1,267 $ 1,418 Service cost 84 100 14 21 Interest cost 287 287 55 55 Benefits paid (518 ) (316 ) (80 ) (79 ) Actuarial losses / (gains) 1,160 (778 ) 153 (47 ) Plan amendments 16 9 — — Currency — — (101 ) (98 ) Settlements (13 ) (512 ) — — Curtailments — (3 ) — (9 ) Special termination benefits — 61 — 1 Other — — 4 5 Benefit obligation at end of year 6,994 5,978 1,312 1,267 Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year 5,721 5,460 1,253 1,089 Actual return on plan assets 629 654 194 144 Contributions 145 435 16 181 Benefits paid (518 ) (316 ) (80 ) (79 ) Currency — — (101 ) (82 ) Settlements (13 ) (512 ) — — Fair value of plan assets at end of year 5,964 5,721 1,282 1,253 Net pension liability recognized at end of year $ (1,030 ) $ (257 ) $ (30 ) $ (14 ) The accumulated benefit obligation, which represents benefits earned to the measurement date, was $6,777 million at December 27, 2014 and $5,781 million at December 28, 2013 for the U.S. pension plans. The accumulated benefit obligation for the non-U.S. pension plans was $1,231 million at December 27, 2014 and $1,191 million at December 28, 2013. The combined U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans resulted in a net pension liability of $1,060 million at December 27, 2014 and $271 million at December 28, 2013. We recognized these amounts in our consolidated balance sheets at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 as follows: December 27, December 28, (in millions) Other assets $ 64 $ 162 Other current liabilities (19 ) (28 ) Accrued pension costs (1,105 ) (405 ) $ (1,060 ) $ (271 ) Certain of our U.S. and non-U.S. plans are underfunded based on accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets. For these plans, the projected benefit obligations, accumulated benefit obligations, and the fair value of plan assets at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans December 27, 2014 December 28, 2013 December 27, 2014 December 28, 2013 (in millions) Projected benefit obligation $ 6,994 $ 203 $ 55 $ 52 Accumulated benefit obligation 6,777 186 50 44 Fair value of plan assets 5,964 17 — — We used the following weighted average assumptions to determine our benefit obligations under the pension plans at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans December 27, 2014 December 28, 2013 December 27, 2014 December 28, 2013 Discount rate 4.17 % 4.94 % 3.87 % 4.56 % Rate of compensation increase 4.00 % 4.00 % 3.00 % 3.00 % Components of Net Pension Cost / (Benefit): Net pension cost / (benefit) consisted of the following for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans For the Years Ended For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, December 27, December 28, December 29, (in millions) Service cost $ 84 $ 100 $ 32 $ 14 $ 21 $ 12 Interest cost 287 287 70 55 55 32 Expected return on plan assets (325 ) (315 ) (105 ) (60 ) (57 ) (43 ) Actuarial losses / (gains) 783 (1,154 ) (41 ) 12 (128 ) 28 Amortization of prior service costs 5 4 1 — — — Settlements 2 69 — — — — Curtailments 3 (3 ) — — (9 ) — Special termination benefits — 61 — — 1 — Net pension cost / (benefit) $ 839 $ (951 ) $ (43 ) $ 21 $ (117 ) $ 29 We remeasure all of our postemployment benefit plans at least annually at the end of our fiscal year. We define the costs or benefits resulting from the change in discount rates, the difference between our estimated and actual return on plan assets, and other assumption changes driven by changes in the law or other external factors as market-based impacts from postemployment benefit plans. Market-based impacts are included in actuarial losses / (gains) and in settlements in the table above. We disclose market-based impacts separately in order to provide additional transparency of our operating results. The remeasurement as of December 27, 2014, resulted in an aggregate expense from market-based impacts of $784 million primarily driven by a 75 basis point weighted average decrease in the discount rate and a $429 million impact from the adoption of the new Society of Actuaries RP-2014 mortality tables, partially offset by excess asset returns. We recorded $477 million of the expense from market-based impacts in cost of sales and $307 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in accordance with our policy for allocating employee costs. The remeasurement as of December 28, 2013, resulted in an aggregate benefit from market-based impacts of $1,268 million primarily driven by an 80 basis point weighted average increase in the discount rate and excess asset returns. We recorded $707 million of the benefit from market-based impacts in cost of sales and $561 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. The annual remeasurement resulted in a benefit from market-based impacts of $29 million as of December 29, 2012. In addition, as a result of the December 28, 2013 remeasurement, we capitalized an aggregate benefit of $34 million from market-based impacts related to our pension plans into inventory consistent with our capitalization policy. During 2014, the entire benefit previously capitalized was recognized in cost of sales. At December 27, 2014, we capitalized an aggregate expense of $41 million from market-based impacts into inventory. Net pension costs included settlement losses of $69 million in 2013 related to retiring employees who elected lump-sum payments. Net pension costs also included special termination benefits associated with our voluntary early retirement program of $62 million in 2013, which were included in our Restructuring Program. As of December 27, 2014, we expected to amortize an estimated $7 million of prior service costs from accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) into net periodic pension cost for the combined U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans during 2015. We used the following weighted average assumptions to determine our net pension cost for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans December 27, December 28, December 29, December 27, December 28, December 29, Discount rate 4.86 % 4.34 % 3.85 % 4.56 % 4.00 % 4.03 % Expected rate of return on plan assets 5.75 % 5.75 % 8.00 % 5.00 % 5.00 % 7.04 % Rate of compensation increase 4.00 % 4.00 % 4.00 % 3.00 % 3.00 % 3.00 % Year-end discount rates for our U.S. and non-U.S. plans were developed from a model portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments with durations that match the expected future cash flows of the benefit obligations. We determine our expected rate of return on plan assets from the plan assets’ historical long-term investment performance, current and future asset allocation, and estimates of future long-term returns by asset class. Plan Assets: The fair value of pension plan assets at December 27, 2014 was determined using the following fair value measurements: Asset Category Total Fair Value Quoted Prices Significant Significant (in millions) Non-U.S. equity securities $ 544 $ 526 $ 18 $ — Pooled funds equity securities 2,694 6 2,688 — Total equity securities 3,238 532 2,706 — Government bonds 776 625 151 — Pooled funds fixed-income securities 876 — 876 — Corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities 2,061 — 2,061 — Total fixed-income securities 3,713 625 3,088 — Real estate 235 — — 235 Certain insurance contracts 53 — — 53 Other 7 7 — — Total $ 7,246 $ 1,164 $ 5,794 $ 288 The fair value of pension plan assets at December 28, 2013 was determined using the following fair value measurements: Asset Category Total Fair Value Quoted Prices Significant Significant (in millions) Non-U.S. equity securities $ 645 $ 645 $ — $ — Pooled funds equity securities 3,123 6 3,117 — Total equity securities 3,768 651 3,117 — Government bonds 719 621 98 — Pooled funds fixed-income securities 642 — 642 — Corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities 1,566 1 1,565 — Total fixed-income securities 2,927 622 2,305 — Real estate 214 — — 214 Certain insurance contracts 57 — — 57 Other 8 8 — — Total $ 6,974 $ 1,281 $ 5,422 $ 271 Fair value measurements: • Level 1 – includes primarily non-U.S. equity securities and certain government bonds valued using quoted prices in active markets. • Level 2 – includes primarily pooled funds valued using net asset values of participation units held in common collective trusts, as reported by the managers of the trusts and as supported by the unit prices of actual purchase and sale transactions. Level 2 plan assets also include corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities, valued using independent observable market inputs, such as matrix pricing, yield curves, and indices. • Level 3 – includes primarily real estate and certain insurance contracts valued using unobservable inputs that reflect the plans’ assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets, based on the best information available. Fair value estimates for real estate investments are calculated using the present value of future cash flows expected to be received from the investments, based on valuation methodologies such as appraisals, local market conditions, and current and projected operating performance. Fair value estimates for certain insurance contracts are reported at contract value. Changes in our Level 3 plan assets, which are recorded in operations, for the year ended December 27, 2014 included: Asset Category December 28, Net Realized Net Purchases, Net Transfers December 27, (in millions) Real estate $ 214 $ 22 $ (1 ) $ — $ 235 Certain insurance contracts 57 1 (5 ) — 53 Total Level 3 investments $ 271 $ 23 $ (6 ) $ — $ 288 Changes in our Level 3 plan assets, which are recorded in operations, for the year ended December 28, 2013 included: Asset Category December 29, Net Realized Net Purchases, Net Transfers December 28, (in millions) Corporate bonds and other fixed-income securities $ 7 $ — $ (2 ) $ (5 ) $ — Real estate 186 27 1 — 214 Certain insurance contracts 66 4 (13 ) — 57 Total Level 3 investments $ 259 $ 31 $ (14 ) $ (5 ) $ 271 The percentage of fair value of pension plan assets at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 was: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans Asset Category December 27, December 28, December 27, December 28, Equity securities 44 % 52 % 48 % 61 % Fixed-income securities 51 % 43 % 51 % 38 % Real estate 4 % 4 % — % — % Certain insurance contracts and other 1 % 1 % 1 % 1 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % 100 % During 2013, we began a new liability-driven investment strategy for pension assets. This strategy, which will be phased in over time, better aligns our pension assets with the projected benefit obligation to reduce volatility by targeting an investment of approximately 80% of our U.S. plan assets in fixed-income securities and approximately 20% in equity securities. The strategy uses actively managed and indexed U.S. investment grade fixed-income securities (which constitute 97% or more of fixed-income securities) with lesser allocations to high yield fixed-income securities, indexed U.S. equity securities, and actively managed and indexed international equity securities. For pension plans outside the U.S., the investment strategy is subject to local regulations and the asset / liability profiles of the plans in each individual country. In aggregate, the long-term asset allocation targets of our non-U.S. plans are broadly characterized as a mix of 70% fixed-income securities and 30% equity securities. We attempt to maintain our target asset allocation by rebalancing between asset classes as we make contributions and monthly benefit payments. Employer Contributions: We estimate that 2015 pension contributions will be approximately $170 million to our U.S. plans and approximately $25 million to our non-U.S. plans. Our actual contributions may differ due to many factors, including changes in tax, employee benefit, or other laws, tax deductibility, significant differences between expected and actual pension asset performance or interest rates, or other factors. In 2014, we contributed $145 million to our U.S. pension plans and $12 million to our non-U.S. pension plans. In addition, employees contributed $4 million in 2014 to our non-U.S. plans and $5 million in 2013. Future Benefit Payments: The estimated future benefit payments from our pension plans at December 27, 2014 were: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans (in millions) 2015 $ 401 $ 66 2016 407 66 2017 418 66 2018 426 66 2019 434 67 2020-2024 2,268 355 Other Costs: We sponsor and contribute to employee savings plans that cover eligible salaried, non-union, and union employees. Our contributions and costs are determined by the matching of employee contributions, as defined by the plans. Amounts charged to expense for defined contribution plans totaled $70 million in 2014, $61 million in 2013, and $12 million in 2012 subsequent to the Spin-Off. Postretirement Benefit Plans Obligations: Our postretirement health care plans are not funded. The changes in and the amount of the accrued benefit obligations at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were: December 27, December 28, (in millions) Accrued benefit obligations at beginning of year $ 3,277 $ 3,738 Service cost 26 35 Interest cost 148 143 Benefits paid (190 ) (188 ) Actuarial losses / (gains) 418 (403 ) Plan amendments (75 ) (40 ) Currency (14 ) (14 ) Special termination benefits — 6 Other 1 — Accrued benefit obligations at end of year $ 3,591 $ 3,277 We used the following weighted average assumptions to determine our postretirement benefit obligations at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013: December 27, December 28, Discount rate 4.08 % 4.69 % Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 6.91 % 7.28 % Ultimate trend rate 5.00 % 5.03 % Year that the rate reaches the ultimate trend rate 2023 2023 Year-end discount rates for our U.S. and non-U.S. plans were developed from a model portfolio of high-quality, fixed-income debt instruments with durations that match the expected future cash flows of the benefit obligations. Our expected health care cost trend rate is based on historical costs. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant impact on the amounts reported for the health care plans. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects as of December 27, 2014: One-Percentage-Point Increase Decrease (in millions) Effect on annual service and interest cost $ 25 $ (20 ) Effect on postretirement benefit obligation 433 (355 ) Components of Net Postretirement Health Care Cost / (Benefit): Net postretirement health care cost / (benefit) consisted of the following for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012: For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, (in millions) Service cost $ 26 $ 35 $ 8 Interest cost 148 143 32 Actuarial losses / (gains) 370 (376 ) 188 Amortization of prior service credits (28 ) (26 ) (7 ) Special termination benefits — 5 — Net postretirement health care cost / (benefit) $ 516 $ (219 ) $ 221 As a result of the 2014 annual remeasurement of our postretirement health care plans, we recorded an expense from market-based impacts of $556 million as of December 27, 2014, primarily driven by a 60 basis point weighted average decrease in the discount rate and a $328 million impact from the adoption of the new Society of Actuaries RP-2014 mortality tables. We recorded $424 million of the expense from market-based impacts in cost of sales and $132 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in accordance with our policy for allocating employee costs. Market-based impacts are included in actuarial losses / (gains) in the table above. As a result of the 2013 annual remeasurement of our postretirement health care plans, we recorded a benefit from market-based impacts of $292 million as of December 28, 2013, primarily driven by an 80 basis point weighted average increase in the discount rate. We recorded expense from market-based impacts of $250 million as of December 29, 2012. In addition, as a result of the 2013 annual remeasurement, we recorded a benefit from market-based impacts of $15 million into inventory as of December 28, 2013 consistent with our capitalization policy. During 2014, the entire benefit previously capitalized was recognized in cost of sales. At December 27, 2014, we capitalized an aggregate expense of $36 million from market-based impacts into inventory. The special termination benefits were associated with our voluntary early retirement program in 2013. As of December 27, 2014, we expected to amortize an estimated $33 million of prior service credits from accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) into net postretirement health care costs during 2015. We used the following weighted average assumptions to determine our net postretirement health care cost for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012: December 27, December 28, December 29, Discount rate 4.69 % 3.89 % 3.61 % Health care cost trend rate 7.28 % 7.53 % 7.06 % Future Benefit Payments: Our estimated future benefit payments for our postretirement health care plans at December 27, 2014 were: (in millions) 2015 $ 196 2016 196 2017 198 2018 199 2019 201 2020-2024 1,019 Other Postemployment Benefit Plans Obligations: Our other postemployment plans are generally not funded. The changes in and the amount of the accrued benefit obligation at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were: December 27, December 28, (in millions) Accrued benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 55 $ 63 Service cost 2 2 Interest cost 2 2 Benefits paid (10 ) (6 ) Actuarial losses / (gains) 19 (2 ) Other (4 ) (4 ) Accrued benefit obligation at end of year $ 64 $ 55 We used the following weighted average assumptions to determine our other postemployment benefit obligations at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013: December 27, December 28, Discount rate 2.86 % 3.10 % Assumed ultimate annual turnover rate 0.50 % 0.50 % Rate of compensation increase 4.00 % 4.00 % Other postemployment costs arising from actions that offer employees benefits in excess of those specified in the respective plans are charged to expense when incurred. Components of Net Other Postemployment Cost: Net other postemployment cost consisted of the following for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013, and December 29, 2012: For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, Service cost $ 2 $ 2 $ 4 Interest cost 2 2 2 Actuarial losses / (gains) 14 (2 ) 1 Other 5 (1 ) — Net other postemployment cost $ 23 $ 1 $ 7 As of December 27, 2014, we did not expect to amortize any prior service costs / (credits) for the other postemployment benefit plans from accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) into net postemployment costs during 2015. Our Participation in Mondelēz International’s Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit Plans and the Spin-Off Impact Prior to the Spin-off, Mondelēz International provided defined benefit pension, postretirement health care, defined contribution, and multiemployer pension and medical benefits to our eligible employees and retirees. As such, we applied the multiemployer plan accounting approach and these liabilities were not reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. We provided pension coverage for certain employees of our Canadian operations through separate plans and certain pension and postemployment benefits of our Canadian operations, which were included in our financial statements prior to the Spin-Off. As part of the Spin-Off, the plans were split and we assumed the obligations previously provided by Mondelēz International. Accordingly, Mondelēz International transferred to us the plan assets and liabilities associated with our active, retired, and other former employees, including liabilities for most of the retired North American Mondelēz International employees. We assumed net benefit plan liabilities of $5.5 billion from Mondelēz International, which was in addition to the $0.1 billion of net benefit plan liabilities we had previously reported in our historical financial statements, for a total liability of $5.6 billion on October 1, 2012. Total Mondelēz International benefit plan costs allocated to us were $491 million in the first nine months of 2012 prior to the Spin-Off. The expense allocations for these benefits were determined based on a review of personnel by business unit and based on allocations of corporate or other shared functional personnel. These allocated costs are reflected in our cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. These costs were funded through intercompany transactions with Mondelēz International and were reflected within the parent company investment equity balance. Our allocated expenses in connection with the pension plans were $283 million in 2012. Our allocated expenses in connection with the postretirement plans were $142 million in 2012. |

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies 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. In October 2014, the staff advised us that the CFTC intends to commence a formal action. We and Mondelēz International continue to seek resolution of this matter. Our Separation and Distribution Agreement with Mondelēz International dated as of September 27, 2012, governs the allocation between Mondelēz International and us 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 amounts of our third-party guarantees was $22 million at December 27, 2014 and $24 million at December 28, 2013. The maximum potential payment under these guarantees was $42 million at December 27, 2014 and $53 million at December 28, 2013. Substantially all of these guarantees expire at various times through 2027 . Leases: Rental expenses were $148 million in 2014, $176 million in 2013, and $150 million in 2012.

Our 2013 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by $49 million of domestic manufacturing deductions, favorable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, most significantly Canada, and the net impact of other discrete tax items. This favorability was partially offset by $68 million of state and local taxes. Our 2012 effective tax rate was favorably impacted by $66 million of domestic manufacturing deductions, favorable tax rates in foreign jurisdictions, most significantly Canada, and changes in uncertain tax positions. This favorability was partially offset by $56 million of state and local taxes. The calculation of the percentage point impact of domestic manufacturing deductions, uncertain tax positions and other discrete items on the effective tax rate was affected by earnings before income taxes. Fluctuations in earnings could impact comparability of reconciling items between periods. Our unrecognized tax benefits of $256 million at December 27, 2014 are included in other current liabilities and other liabilities. If we had recognized all of these benefits, the net impact on our income tax provision would have been $167 million . Of the net unrecognized tax benefits, approximately $100 million to $140 million are expected to be resolved within the next 12 months. The changes in our unrecognized tax benefits were: For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, (in millions) Beginning of year $ 259 $ 258 $ 371 Increases from prior period tax positions 26 2 11 Decreases from prior period tax positions (74 ) (5 ) (90 ) Decreases from statute of limitations expirations (14 ) (28 ) — Increases from current period tax positions 67 39 16 Net transfers to Mondelēz International — — (9 ) Decreases relating to settlements with taxing authorities (3 ) (3 ) (33 ) Currency and other (5 ) (4 ) (8 ) End of year $ 256 $ 259 $ 258 We include accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in our tax provision. Our provision for income taxes included a benefit of $30 million in 2014, expense of $13 million in 2013, and expense of $18 million in 2012 for interest and penalties. Accrued interest and penalties were $41 million as of December 27, 2014, and $74 million as of December 28, 2013. We have entered into a tax sharing agreement with Mondelēz International, which provides that for periods prior to October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International is liable for and will indemnify us against all U.S. federal income taxes and substantially all foreign income taxes, excluding Canadian income taxes; and that we are liable for and will indemnify Mondelēz International against U.S. state income taxes and Canadian federal and provincial income taxes. Our U.S. operations were included in Mondelēz International’s U.S. federal consolidated income tax returns for tax periods through October 1, 2012. In August 2014, Mondelēz International reached a final resolution on a U.S. federal income tax audit of the 2007-2009 tax years. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for tax year 2010 and forward, and federal income tax returns for 2010-2012 are currently under examination. As noted above we are indemnified for U.S. federal income taxes related to these periods. We are regularly examined by federal, state and foreign authorities. We are currently under income tax examinations by the IRS for the post Spin-Off period 2012-2014. Our income tax filings are also currently under examination by tax authorities in various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. U.S. state and local and foreign jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from three to five years unless we agree to an extension. In Canada, our only significant foreign jurisdiction, the earliest open tax year is 2007. At December 27, 2014, we had outside tax basis in excess of book basis in certain foreign subsidiaries in which earnings are indefinitely reinvested. As of that date, applicable U.S. federal income taxes and foreign withholding taxes had not been provided on approximately $578 million of unremitted earnings of such foreign subsidiaries. If such earnings were to be remitted, our incremental tax cost would be approximately $118 million . The tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to deferred income tax assets and liabilities consisted of the following at December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013: December 27, December 28, (in millions) Deferred income tax assets: Pension benefits $ 407 $ 104 Postretirement benefits 1,355 1,238 Other employee benefits 113 122 Other 471 497 Total deferred income tax assets 2,346 1,961 Valuation allowance (20 ) (3 ) Net deferred income tax assets $ 2,326 $ 1,958 Deferred income tax liabilities: Trade names $ (828 ) $ (828 ) Property, plant and equipment (979 ) (949 ) Debt exchange (350 ) (384 ) Other (66 ) (65 ) Total deferred income tax liabilities (2,223 ) (2,226 ) Net deferred income tax assets / (liabilities) $ 103 $ (268 ) |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting We manufacture and market food and beverage products, including cheese, meats, refreshment beverages, coffee, packaged dinners, refrigerated meals, snack nuts, dressings, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. We manage and report our operating results through five reportable segments: Cheese, Beverages & Snack Nuts, Refrigerated Meals, Meal Solutions, and International. Our remaining businesses, including our U.S. and Canadian Foodservice 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 the following items for each of the periods presented: • Market-based impacts and certain other components of our postemployment benefit plans (which are components of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses) because we centrally manage postemployment benefit plan funding decisions and the determination of discount rates, expected rate of return on plan assets, and other actuarial assumptions. • Unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities (which are a component of cost of sales) in order to provide better transparency of our segment operating results. Unrealized gains and losses on hedging activities, which includes unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as well as the ineffective portion of unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives designated as hedging instruments, are recorded in Corporate until realized. Once realized, the gains and losses are recorded within the applicable segment operating results. • Certain general corporate expenses (which are a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and cost savings initiatives expenses (which are components of asset impairment and exit costs, cost of sales, and selling, general and administrative expenses). 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 measures that management reviews. Management does not use assets by segment to evaluate performance or allocate resources and therefore, we do not calculate or disclose assets by segment. Our segment net revenues and earnings consisted of: For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, (in millions) Net revenues: Cheese $ 4,066 $ 3,925 $ 3,829 Beverages & Snack Nuts 3,628 3,664 3,711 Refrigerated Meals 3,433 3,334 3,280 Meal Solutions 3,216 3,423 3,538 International 2,304 2,372 2,318 Other Businesses 1,558 1,500 1,595 Net revenues $ 18,205 $ 18,218 $ 18,271 For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, (in millions) Earnings before income taxes: Operating income: Cheese $ 675 $ 721 $ 716 Beverages & Snack Nuts 545 504 416 Refrigerated Meals 409 364 409 Meal Solutions 1,073 1,130 1,259 International 451 463 371 Other Businesses 188 172 143 Market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans (1,341 ) 1,561 (223 ) Certain other postemployment benefit plan income / (expense) 164 61 (82 ) Unrealized (losses) / gains on hedging activities (79 ) 21 13 General corporate expenses (88 ) (116 ) (49 ) Cost savings initiatives expenses (107 ) (290 ) (303 ) Operating income 1,890 4,591 2,670 Interest and other expense, net (484 ) (501 ) (258 ) Royalty income from Mondelēz International — — 41 Earnings before income taxes $ 1,406 $ 4,090 $ 2,453 Depreciation expense and capital expenditures by segment were: For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, (in millions) Depreciation Expense: Cheese $ 57 $ 92 $ 119 Beverages & Snack Nuts 85 82 81 Refrigerated Meals 87 84 76 Meal Solutions 85 64 85 International 37 38 31 Other Businesses 33 33 36 Total depreciation expense $ 384 $ 393 $ 428 For the Years Ended December 27, December 28, December 29, (in millions) Capital expenditures: Cheese $ 152 $ 150 $ 84 Beverages & Snack Nuts 136 171 146 Refrigerated Meals 110 80 83 Meal Solutions 66 76 83 International 53 60 33 Other Businesses 18 20 11 Total capital expenditures $ 535 $ 557 $ 440 Concentration of risk: Our largest customer, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., accounted for approximately 26% of net revenues in 2014 and in 2013, and 25% in 2012.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | Description of Business: Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (“Kraft Foods Group,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) manufactures and markets food and beverage products, including cheese, meats, refreshment beverages, coffee, packaged dinners, refrigerated meals, snack nuts, dressings, and other grocery products, primarily in the United States and Canada. Our product categories span breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal occasions. On October 1, 2012, Mondelēz International, Inc. (“Mondelēz International,” formerly known as Kraft Foods Inc.) created us as an independent public company through a spin-off of its North American grocery business to Mondelēz International’s shareholders (the “Spin-Off”). Mondelēz International distributed 592 million shares of Kraft Foods Group common stock to Mondelēz International’s shareholders. Holders of Mondelēz International common stock received one share of Kraft Foods Group common stock for every three shares of Mondelēz International common stock held on September 19, 2012. |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include Kraft Foods Group, as well as our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions are eliminated. Our period end date for financial reporting purposes is the last Saturday of the fiscal year, which aligns with the financial close dates of our operating segments. Prior to the Spin-Off on October 1, 2012, our financial statements were prepared on a stand-alone basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Mondelēz International. Our financial statements included certain expenses of Mondelēz International that were allocated to us for certain functions, including general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, compliance, shared services, insurance, employee benefits and incentives, and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated in our historical results of operations on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on the basis of revenue, operating income, or headcount. We consider the expense allocation methodology and results to be reasonable for all periods presented. However, these allocations were not necessarily indicative of the actual expenses we would have incurred as an independent public company or of the costs we will incur in the future, and may differ substantially from the allocations we agreed to in the various separation agreements. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make accounting policy elections, estimates, and assumptions that affect a number of amounts in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable. 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 consolidated financial statements. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents include demand deposits with banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Inventories | Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. We value all our inventories using the average cost method. |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets: Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over periods ranging from 3 to 20 years and buildings and improvements over periods up to 40 years . Capitalized software costs are included in property, plant and equipment and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the software, which do not exceed seven years . We review long-lived assets for impairment when conditions exist that indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Such conditions include significant adverse changes in the business climate, current-period operating or cash flow losses, significant declines in forecasted operations, or a current expectation that an asset group will be disposed of before the end of its useful life. We perform undiscounted operating cash flow analyses to determine if an impairment exists. When testing for impairment of assets held for use, we group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable. If an impairment is determined to exist, the loss is calculated based on estimated fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets : We test goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter or when a triggering event occurs. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the reporting unit’s estimated fair value with its carrying value. We estimate a reporting unit’s fair value using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates, estimates of residual value, and estimates of market multiples. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s net assets exceeds its fair value, the second step would be applied to measure the difference between the carrying value and implied fair value of goodwill. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the goodwill would be considered impaired and would be reduced to its implied fair value. We test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by comparing the fair value of each intangible asset with its carrying value. Fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets is determined using planned growth rates, market-based discount rates, and estimates of royalty rates. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, the intangible asset would be considered impaired and would be reduced to fair value. Estimating the fair value of individual reporting units or intangible assets requires us to make assumptions and estimates regarding our future plans, as well as industry and economic conditions. These assumptions and estimates include projected revenues and income, interest rates, cost of capital, royalty rate, and tax rates. |
Insurance and Self Insurance | Insurance and Self-Insurance: We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance for a number of risks, including workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, product liability, and our obligation for employee health care benefits. We estimate the liabilities associated with these risks by considering historical claims experience and other actuarial assumptions. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition: We recognize revenues when title and risk of loss pass to our customers. We record revenues net of consumer incentives and trade promotions and include all shipping and handling charges billed to customers. We also record provisions for estimated product returns and customer allowances as reductions to revenues within the same period that the revenue is recognized. We base these estimates principally on historical and current period experience, however, it is reasonably likely that actual experiences will vary from the estimates we make. |
Marketing and Research and Development | Marketing and Research and Development: We promote our products with advertising and consumer promotions, consumer incentives, and trade promotions. Consumer incentives and trade promotions include, but are not limited to, discounts, coupons, rebates, in-store display incentives, and volume-based incentives. Consumer incentive and trade promotion activities are recorded as a reduction to revenues based on amounts estimated as being due to customers and consumers at the end of a period. We base these estimates principally on historical utilization and redemption rates. For interim reporting purposes, we charge advertising and consumer promotion expenses to operations as a percentage of volume, based on estimated volume and related expense for the full year. We review and adjust these estimates each quarter based on actual experience and other information. Advertising expense was $652 million in 2014, $747 million in 2013, and $640 million in 2012. We record marketing expense in selling, general and administrative expense, except for consumer incentives and trade promotions, which are recorded in net revenues. We expense costs as incurred for product research and development within selling, general and administrative expenses. Research and development expense was $149 million in 2014, $142 million in 2013, and $143 million in 2012. The amounts disclosed in prior periods have been revised to exclude market-based impacts to postemployment benefit plans and certain other costs that are not directly associated with our research and development activities. The impacts of these revisions to the disclosure were not material to any prior period. |
Environmental Costs | Environmental Costs: We are subject to various laws and regulations in the United States and Canada relating to the protection of the environment. We accrue for environmental remediation obligations on an undiscounted basis when amounts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The accruals are adjusted based on new information or as circumstances change. We record recoveries of environmental remediation costs from third parties as assets when we believe these amounts are receivable. As of December 27, 2014, we were involved in 56 active proceedings in the United States under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (and other similar state actions and legislation) related to our current operations and certain closed, inactive or divested operations for which we retain liability. As of December 27, 2014, we had accrued an amount we deemed appropriate for environmental remediation. Based on information currently available, we believe that the ultimate resolution of existing environmental remediation actions and our compliance in general with environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on our financial condition or results from operations. However, we cannot quantify with certainty the potential impact of future compliance efforts and environmental remediation actions. |
Postemployment Benefit Plans | Postemployment Benefit Plans: We provide a range of benefits to our eligible employees and retirees. These include defined benefit pension, postretirement health care, defined contribution, and multiemployer pension and medical benefits. Our pension, postretirement, and other postemployment (collectively, “postemployment”) benefit plans cover most salaried and certain hourly employees. The cost of these plans is charged to expense over the working life of the covered employees. We account for defined benefit costs using a mark-to-market policy. Under this accounting method, we recognize net actuarial gains or losses and changes in the fair value of plan assets in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses immediately upon remeasurement, which is at least annually. |
Financial Instruments | Financial Instruments: As we operate primarily in North America but source our commodities on global markets and periodically enter into financing or other arrangements abroad, we use a variety of risk management strategies and financial instruments to manage commodity price, foreign currency exchange rate, and interest rate risks. Our risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to reduce the potentially adverse effects that the volatility of these markets may have on our operating results. One way we do this is through actively hedging our risks through the use of derivative instruments. As a matter of policy, we do not use highly leveraged derivative instruments, nor do we use financial instruments for speculative purposes. Derivatives are recorded on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, which fluctuates based on changing market conditions. Certain derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and qualify for hedge accounting treatment, while others do not qualify and are marked to market through earnings. For cash flow hedges, changes in fair value are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive earnings / (losses) within equity until the underlying hedged items are recognized in net earnings. Accordingly, we record deferred cash flow hedge gains or losses in cost of sales when the related inventory is sold and in interest and other expense, net, when the related debt interest expense is recorded. Cash flows from derivative instruments are also classified in the same manner as the underlying hedged items in the consolidated statement of cash flows. For additional information on derivative activity within our operating results, see Note 10, Financial Instruments . To qualify for hedge accounting, a specified level of hedging effectiveness between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged must be achieved at inception and maintained throughout the hedged period. Any hedging ineffectiveness is recognized in net earnings when the change in the value of the hedge does not offset the change in the value of the underlying hedged item. We formally document our risk management objectives, strategies for undertaking the various hedge transactions, the nature of and relationships between the hedging instruments and hedged items, and method for assessing hedge effectiveness. Additionally, for qualified hedges of forecasted transactions, we specifically identify the significant characteristics and expected terms of the forecasted transactions. If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the hedge will no longer be effective and all of the derivative gains or losses would be recognized in earnings in the current period. Unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives not designated as hedging instruments as well as the ineffective portion of unrealized gains and losses on our derivatives designated as hedging instruments, are recorded in Corporate until realized. Once realized, the gains and losses are recorded within the applicable segment operating results. When we use financial instruments, we are exposed to credit risk that a counterparty might fail to fulfill its performance obligations under the terms of our agreement. We minimize our credit risk by entering into transactions with counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting the amount of exposure we have with each counterparty, and monitoring the financial condition of our counterparties. We also maintain a policy of requiring that all significant, non-exchange traded derivative contracts with a duration of greater than one year be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreement. We are also exposed to market risk as the value of our financial instruments might be adversely affected by a change in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, or interest rates. We manage market risk by incorporating monitoring parameters within our risk management strategy that limit the types of derivative instruments and derivative strategies we use and the degree of market risk that we hedge with derivative instruments. Commodity cash flow hedges – We are exposed to price risk related to forecasted purchases of certain commodities that we primarily use as raw materials. We enter into commodity forward contracts primarily for coffee beans, meat products, sugar, wheat, and dairy products. Commodity forward contracts generally are not subject to the accounting requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities under the normal purchases exception. We also use commodity futures and options to hedge the price of certain commodity costs, including dairy products, coffee beans, meat products, wheat, corn products, soybean oils, sugar, and natural gas. Some of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We also sell commodity futures to unprice future purchase commitments, and we occasionally use related futures to cross-hedge a commodity exposure. Foreign currency cash flow hedges – We use various financial instruments to mitigate our exposure to changes in exchange rates from third-party and intercompany actual and forecasted transactions. These instruments may include forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency options. We primarily use these instruments to hedge our exposure to the Canadian dollar. Substantially all of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Interest rate cash flow hedges – We use derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. We primarily use interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of interest payment cash flows on a portion of our future debt obligations. Substantially all of these derivative instruments are highly effective and qualify for hedge accounting treatment. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes: We recognize income taxes based on amounts refundable or payable for the current year and record deferred tax assets or liabilities for any difference between U.S. GAAP accounting and tax reporting. We also recognize deferred tax assets for temporary differences, operating loss carryforwards, and tax credit carryforwards. Inherent in determining our annual tax rate are judgments regarding business plans, planning opportunities, and expectations about future outcomes. Realization of certain deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss and other carryforwards, is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the appropriate jurisdiction prior to the expiration of the carryforward periods. See Note 12, Income Taxes , for additional information. We apply a more-likely-than-not threshold to the recognition and derecognition of uncertain tax positions. Accordingly, we recognize the amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being ultimately realized upon settlement. Future changes in judgment related to the expected ultimate resolution of uncertain tax positions will affect earnings in the quarter of such change. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements: In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued an accounting standard update ("ASU") that modified the criteria for reporting the disposal of a component of an entity as discontinued operations. In addition, the ASU requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. The ASU will be effective for all disposals of components of an entity that occur during our fiscal year 2015 and thereafter. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU that supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance. Under the new ASU, an entity will apply a principles-based five step model to recognize revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers and in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU will be effective beginning in the first quarter of our fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that this ASU will have on our financial statements and related disclosures. |
