  5. Communication with Kraft Foods • The Supplier must immediately notify Kraft Foods of occurrences which could affect the processing, food safety or quality of materials supplied to Kraft. • –Inadvertent release from Hold of any material produced for Kraft • –Notification by law enforcement or other authority of a potential product security event • –Identification of an unlabeled allergen in material produced for Kraft • –Inability to deliver materials that meet Kraft Specifications • –Changes to suppliers processes and/or facilities that could have an impact on materials supplied to Kraft • –In the event of a positive pathogen result (in the lot or in similar products produced on the same line and/or direct contact surface swab), Kraft Foods Contracting Representative must be notified, even if the specific lot is not sent to Kraft Foods

  6. A Case for GFSI Certification • There is only one true internationally recognized certification for food plants Food Safety Management Systems • That is GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) approved certifications • Launched in 2000 • 400 members in 150 countries • Mission: Continuous improvement in Food Safety Management System (FSMS) to ensure confidence in the delivery of safe food products to consumers • Objective: Convergence between food safety standards • Mantra: “Once certified accepted everywhere”

  7. Revised 2011 Categories and Audit Matrix Last Revised: 7-September-2011 2 4 • Certifications include GFSI (SQF 2000 Level 2 or 3, BRC version 5, IFS version 5, Dutch HACCP option B – until December 31, 2011, ISO22000 + PAS220, FSSC22000) • Not Accepted: • ) ISO22000 audits without PAS220, 2.) GMA-SAFE dated after December 31, 2011, 3.) Dutch HACCP issued after January 1, 2012 • NSF Cook and Thurber and Silliker audits accepted only for raw meat andraw meat products until further notice • AIB accepted for Flour mills only until further notice • Where local regulatory considerations make a higher tier rating necessary, this must be documented in local procedures and notified to auditing, a lower tier rating cannot be applied.

  8. A Case for GFSI Certification • BRC, IFS, SQF, Dutch HACCP, FSSC22K all recognized • Kraft Foods committed to having all internal facilities obtain an accredited, independent verification of its food safety management system – in the form of GFSI certification – by 2013 • FSSC22K selected by Kraft Foods for internal facility certification • Approach is being extended to our supply base – it is a requirement that all raw material suppliers to Kraft Foods attain GFSI certification by Dec. 31, 2014 • Some benefits of GFSI: • Promotes food safety • Provide a standard across the industry • Lower cost • Reduce audit fatigue

  9. Global Specification Management System • Kraft Foods global Product and Packaging Specification and Nutrition Management Application enables • development and management of all raw, formula, pack and product specs • sharing of specifications within the region and across the world • common generation and management of all product label declarations • seamless linkage between RDQ, Master Data and Supply Chain • Kraft Foods Global Specification System implementation worldwideto all Kraft RDQ centers and manufacturing facilities • KRAFT and LU scope: fully implemented • CADBURY scope: data migration and implementation ongoing, completion target Q3 2012 • Kraft Foods Global Specification System includes consistent gathering of raw material information via Global Kraft Information Tool (GKIT) • GKIT in place in NA for 4 years • GKIT replacing current "Supplier Questionnaire" in EU and CEEMA
