On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched a military operation against Iran, followed by Iranian strikes against Israel, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other Persian Gulf countries. As of September 26, 2026, less than 1% of Kraft Heinz’s consolidated assets were in impacted countries and less than 1% of consolidated net sales came from the region. The conflict had no material impact on results through the third quarter of 2026, but ongoing tensions could disrupt supply chains and increase procurement and logistics costs; management says the situation remains rapidly changing.
