Kraft Foods (NYSE:KFT) shareholders have overwhelmingly agreed to name the company's global snacks business "Mondelez International," another step closer to completing the spin-off later this year.
The company, whose new name was approved by 90% of Kraft's shareholders, will serve as an umbrella over a number of Kraft's iconic brands, including Cadbury, Nabisco, Oreo, Tang and Trident."Mondelez" is a derivative of the Latin words for "world" and "delicious." In a statement, Kraft CEO Irene Rosenfeld said the name has an "appealing international sound that perfectly evokes the idea of a 'delicious world.'""That's the essence of our global snacks company," she said. The announcement is the latest step closer to the snacks manufacturer's long-time plan to split into two separate companies in 2012.
