5 and beyond, including significant efforts to act on the Pew Report recommendations
(reduce plastic use, make all packaging recyclable, and transition to reusable and refillable formats). In the absence of membership to
the Global Commitment or a clear alignment with industry-leading packaging ambitions, Kraft Heinz faces substantial competitive risk.
As major competitors increasingly commit to aggressive plastic reduction goals and alternatives to flexible packaging, Kraft Heinz risks
falling behind in the eyes of consumers, retailers, and investors.

| 3. | Kraft Heinz is on track to fail its sustainable packaging commitments, exposing the Company to financial, regulatory, and reputational 
 risk.                                                                                                                                  |

Kraft Heinz is behind in acting to reduce or recycle its flexible packaging, having only recently acknowledged the end-of-life challenges
associated with this type of plastic. As recently as 2023, Kraft Heinz asserted that because flexible plastic is designed
for recycling or, in other words, technically able to be recycled, use of flexibles was justified. What Kraft Heinz apparently
failed to to recognize is that the infrastructure to actually recycle flexible packaging does not universally exist. Technical
recyclability does little to nothing to prevent plastic pollution; packaging must be recyclable in practice and at scale, something
to which Kraft Heinz has not committed. The Company’s difficulty in acknowledging and accurately reporting on the challenges of
recycling and the ability of its packaging to be recycled in practice and at scale is the subject of Proposal 4 on the Company’s
2025 proxy: Report on Recyclability Claims.

In 2024, following the filing of two resolutions on plastic packaging
– including this proposal – the Company acknowledged the limitations of the U.S. recycling system, reporting that “recycling
infrastructure in many of the countries where we sell our products is not yet advanced enough to collect, recycle, and convert these materials
into viable end products at scale.” However, the
