Jonathan Atwood, director of Kraft Asia, told just-food that Kraft does indeed intend to implement these moves, stating that further information would be forthcoming.
Kraft have said that such decisions are determined by a number of factors specific to each market, it was reported. These include national regulations, labelling requirements, the availability of ingredients and consumer preferences.
