Kraft Foods Expresses Sorrow Over Philadelphia, PA TragedyNORTHFIELD, Ill., Sept 10, 2010 - This is a heart-breaking time for the Kraft Foods family. On September 9, a manufacturing employee at our Philadelphia Bakery entered the building with a weapon and shot three fellow employees. This employee is now in police custody. We are working closely with the authorities as they investigate this situation.

We are devastated that two employees died as a result of this incident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to their families. The loss of a loved one is a great sorrow.

The third employee was sent to the hospital, and a contract employee suffered a less serious injury. We also send our well wishes to the injured employees and their families.

Employees on duty last evening were heroic in their efforts. They responded extremely well under the most dire circumstances and we believe their actions helped prevent further tragedy.

We again express our deepest condolences to the families who have been touched by this tragedy.
