 work with U.S., Canada, and U.K. Plastic Pacts to increase recycled content in our packaging as we aim to replace 15% of our U.S. PET rigid plastic packing portfolio with post-consumer recycled content by the end of 2025. Below are examples of our recent initiatives:

| ● | Shake N’ Bake: We removed the plastic ’shaker’ bag from the signature packaging to eliminate                                       
 900,000 pounds of plastic waste annually.                                                                                          |
| ● | Crystal Light: We transitioned our multi-serve Crystal Light packaging from plastic containers to paperboard. The new paperboard   
 packaging is widely recyclable and is anticipated to reduce plastic use by approximately 3 million pounds each year.               |
| ● | Heinz Beans and Soup: The plastic overwrap on multipack has been converted from film to carton resulting in 500 pounds of plastic  
 saved annually.                                                                                                                    |
| ● | Kraft Real Mayo, NotMayo, and Miracle Whip: As detailed above, we launched Kraft Real Mayo, NotMayo, Miracle Whip in the U.S.      
 with 100% recycled content in our bottles and jars in select sizes, expecting to eliminate 14 million pounds of virgin plastic and 
 reduce carbon emissions.                                                                                                           |
| ● | Heinz Sauces: The entire Heinz sauce portfolio packaging in the European Union has included 30% rPET, eliminating 11 million       
 pounds of virgin plastic on an annual basis. Additionally, we have removed disruptive additives and components from the bottle and 
 cap to increase the quality of recycled content available for food packaging.                                                      |

We continue to explore ways to reduce single use plastic by implementing reusable systems, while maintaining the convenience of our products, such as our Heinz Ketchup and sauce dispensing systems. While we have less control over the recycling infrastructure in the communities where we sell our products, we realize its importance and that it is an industry wide challenge that we must all do our part to address. We have been an active member of The Recycling Partnership’s (TRP) Film and Flexibles Recycling Coalition since 2020, where we play a key role on the steering committee. This coalition provides grant funding to communities across North America to enhance the collection, sorting, and end-market development for film and flexible packaging. Additionally, Kraft Heinz is a supporting partner of the Composting Consortium, an industry collaboration led by the Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners (CLP), laying the groundwork for a more robust, resilient
