Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

On August 1, 2007, Kraft Foods Inc., a Virginia corporation, issued a press release announcing earnings for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007. A copy of the earnings press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

The company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that certain non-GAAP measures and corresponding ratios provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. The company’s top-line guidance measure is organic net revenues, which excludes the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. The company uses organic net revenues and corresponding growth ratios as non-GAAP financial measures. Organic net revenues is defined as net revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. Management believes this measure better reflects revenues on a go-forward basis and provides improved comparability of results.

The company is presenting various operating results, such as operating income, operating income margin, effective tax rate, net earnings and diluted EPS on both a reported basis and on a basis excluding items that affect comparability of results. When the company uses operating results, such as operating income, operating income margin, effective tax rate, net earnings and diluted earnings per share, excluding items, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The term “items” refers to asset impairment, exit and implementation costs primarily related to a restructuring program that began in the first quarter of 2004 (the “Restructuring Program”). These restructuring charges include separation-related costs, asset write-downs, and other costs related to the implementation of the Restructuring Program. Other excluded items pertain to asset impairment charges on certain long-lived assets; gains and losses on the sales of businesses; interest from tax reserve transfers from Altria Group, Inc.; and the favorable resolution of Altria Group, Inc.’s 1996-1999 IRS Tax Audit in 2006.

The attached press release includes non-GAAP financial measures because our management uses this information to monitor and evaluate our operating results and trends on an on-going basis and to facilitate internal comparison to historical operating results. Our management uses non-GAAP financial information and measures internally for operating, budgeting and financial planning purposes. Our management believes the non-GAAP information is useful for investors by offering them the ability to facilitate comparisons to historical operating results, better identify trends in our business, and better understand how management evaluates our business.

These non-GAAP measures have limitations, however, because they do not include all items of income and expense that affect Kraft Foods Inc. See the schedules attached to our earnings release as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the quarters ended June 30, 2007, and June 30, 2006. A reconciliation of all non-GAAP measures to the nearest comparable GAAP used in this earnings release can be found on the company’s website, www.kraft.com. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP measures the company is using may differ from non-GAAP measures that other companies use.

NORTHFIELD, Ill. – August 1, 2007 – Kraft Foods Inc. (NYSE: KFT) today reported solid second quarter revenue growth of 6.8% as the company continued to invest in its growth strategy. Earnings per share excluding items affecting comparability declined as investments in growth and the impact from previously completed divestitures offset the benefits of share repurchase and a lower tax rate. During the quarter, the impact of higher input costs were largely offset by pricing and productivity.

“I am pleased to report that we made further progress in the second quarter to return Kraft to reliable growth,” said Irene Rosenfeld, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our early investments in product quality and marketing have led to sequential improvements in top-line growth. In addition, we are encouraged by the progress in rebuilding our new product pipeline and plan to spend at the high end of the $300-$400 million range we previously communicated. While making these investments, we are taking other significant steps to build long-term shareholder value, including expanding our international footprint by acquiring Danone’s global biscuit business and actively repurchasing our stock.”

“As a result of our investments in growth and our expectations for significant increases in input costs, particularly dairy,” Rosenfeld continued, “our profit margins will show further decline in the second half of the year. But it is critical that we invest now in order to lay the foundation for our future growth.”

Second quarter 2007 net revenues increased 6.8% to $9.2 billion, reflecting a favorable 1.4 percentage point impact from the United Biscuits Iberia acquisition and a favorable 2.2 percentage point impact from currency. Divested operations reduced net revenues 0.9 percentage points. Excluding these

items, organic net revenues grew 4.1%, reflecting favorable product mix of 3.1 percentage points from solid gains across most businesses and a 1.7 percentage point benefit from price increases. A volume decline of 0.7 percentage points was primarily attributable to declines in three North America segments — Beverages, Cheese & Foodservice and Grocery.

Second quarter 2007 diluted earnings per share were $0.44, up 7.3% from $0.41 in 2006. During the quarter, the company incurred $0.06 per diluted share ($157 million before taxes) in asset impairment, exit and implementation costs from its cost restructuring program.

Diluted EPS excluding items

   $ 0.50    $ 0.51    (2.0 )%

Second quarter diluted earnings per share excluding items declined 2.0% to $0.50 in 2007. Diluted earnings per share excluding items reflect a $0.02 contribution from share repurchase activity and a $0.01 benefit from a decrease in the company’s tax rate. These were offset by investments in the company’s growth initiatives and a $0.01 negative impact from prior year income from divested operations.

Operating income increased 1.0% from the prior year to $1.2 billion. Operating income excluding items2 declined 6.3% versus the prior year and operating income margin excluding items2 decreased to 14.5% in second quarter 2007 from 16.6% in second quarter 2006. Over half of the operating income decline in second quarter 2007 resulted from the negative impact of an $18 million gain from the sale of a facility in the second quarter of 2006 and the absence of $33 million from previously completed divestitures. Additionally, the benefits of favorable product mix and pricing were more than offset by higher input costs, including investments in product quality, and higher overhead costs driven by investments in growth.

Kraft’s effective tax rate2 in second quarter 2007 was 32.0%. The company’s effective tax rate excluding items was 32.5% in second quarter 2007 compared to an effective tax rate of 33.4% in second quarter 2006.

During the second quarter, the company repurchased 60.7 million of its shares at a total cost of $2.0 billion, or an average price of $32.96 per share. As of June 30, 2007, $3.0 billion remained under the company’s recently announced $5.0 billion share repurchase plan.

North America Beverages organic net revenues grew 4.3% driven by favorable product mix in powdered beverages and coffee. The introduction of Crystal Light with antioxidants and functional benefits as well as the continued success of single-serve sticks led to strong powdered beverage growth. Coffee benefited from pricing and continued strong performance in premium brands such as Starbucks and Tassimo, partially offset by volume declines in mainstream coffee. Revenue growth in the quarter was partially offset by weakness in ready-to-drink bottled beverages. Operating income excluding items grew 13.6% as favorable product mix more than offset higher input costs, primarily green coffee and packaging costs.

North America Cheese & Foodservice organic net revenues grew 3.3%, reflecting price increases and favorable product mix, partially offset by lower volume including the discontinuation of lower margin Foodservice product lines. Favorable product mix in cheese was driven by growth from new

products, including the launch of Kraft Singles Select and LiveActive cottage cheese as well as the continued success of Philadelphia Ready-to-Eat Cheesecake. Operating income excluding items declined 20.5% as the contribution from pricing was more than offset by commodity cost increases and higher overhead costs driven by increased marketing support.

North America Convenient Meals organic net revenues grew 5.3% primarily from a combination of favorable product mix, pricing, and volume gains from new product introductions. Product mix and volume gains reflected the ongoing success of Oscar Mayer Deli Shaved meats, Kraft Easy-Mac cups and California Pizza Kitchen pizzas as well as the successful introduction of Oscar Mayer Deli Creations sandwiches and DiGiorno Ultimate pizza. Operating income excluding items declined 27.7% as gains from pricing were more than offset by higher commodity costs, investments in growth initiatives and the absence of $9 million in prior year income from divested operations.

North America Grocery organic net revenues declined 1.8% compared to prior year. The benefits of price increases and growth in better-for-you snacks, such as Jell-O sugar-free ready-to-eat pudding, were more than offset by weakness in salad dressings and dry packaged desserts. Operating income excluding items declined 7.5% primarily due to lower volume.

North America Snacks & Cereals organic net revenues grew 3.7% primarily due to favorable product mix and volume gains. Strong product mix in cookies reflected new product successes in the Nabisco 100 Calorie Pack franchise. Double-digit volume gains in bars were driven by the launch of Nabisco 100 Calorie bars and Back to Nature bars. Solid revenue growth in cereals benefited from pricing and a rebound in kids’ cereals due to the success of recent quality improvements as well as the momentum of Post Honey Bunches of Oats. Operating income excluding items declined 2.8% due to the absence of $22 million in income from divested operations versus the prior year. Favorable product mix and gains from manufacturing productivity more than offset higher overhead costs driven by investments in marketing as well as higher commodity and packaging costs.

European Union organic net revenues grew 2.0%, reflecting solid volume and product mix gains in coffee and chocolate, partially offset by higher promotional spending. Gains in coffee were driven by successful marketing programs and new product launches, further growth in Tassimo as well as higher marketing spending behind core brands such as Kenco in the UK and Carte Noire in France. Increased promotional spending to counter price-based competition in mainstream roast and ground coffee in Germany partially offset coffee growth. In chocolate, investment in marketing and promotional support drove

continued growth in premium offerings, including Côte d’Or, Toblerone and Milka Tendres Moments. The addition of the United Biscuits businesses contributed 7.4 percentage points to reported net revenue growth and favorable currency added 10.2 percentage points. Operating income excluding items increased 8.1% as the combination of improved product mix and favorable currency and the benefits of the United Biscuits acquisition more than offset increased investments in marketing and promotion, as well as an $18 million gain from the sale of a facility in the second quarter of 2006.

Developing Markets organic net revenues grew 11.5% led by continued double-digit growth in Eastern Europe, Middle East & Africa (EEMA) and Latin America. Gains in EEMA were driven by expanded distribution in Eastern Europe, increased marketing spending and successful new product introductions in both coffee and chocolate, as well as pricing. In Latin America, broad-based revenue growth from pricing, new products, and increased marketing support drove strong results in chocolate, biscuits and powdered beverages. Operating income excluding items was up 15.3% as the contribution from higher pricing and favorable product mix was partially offset by increased overhead expenses driven by incremental investments in marketing as well as higher input costs.

2007 Outlook

Given strong growth in the first six months, Kraft is updating its guidance for 2007. The company now expects organic net revenue growth of 4%-plus in 2007, up from its previous guidance of 3%-4%.

Additionally, expectations for fully diluted EPS are increased to $1.55 to $1.60, up from $1.50 to $1.55 previously. The new guidance includes $0.23 per diluted share in costs related to the company’s restructuring program and $0.03 per diluted share from the first quarter 2007 recognition of one-time interest income related tax reserve transfers from Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO). Expectations for fully diluted EPS excluding items remain unchanged at $1.75 to $1.80.

Reflected in its earnings guidance, Kraft now expects to deliver a higher level of savings under its restructuring program for the year, while spending less than anticipated. The company now expects cumulative savings from the program will reach approximately $725 million by year-end, up from its previous estimate of $700 million. To date, cumulative savings from this cost restructuring program on an annualized basis totaled approximately $660 million, up from approximately $540 million at the end of 2006. Due to the timing of activities, the company projects spending of approximately $575 million in 2007, or

$0.23 per fully diluted share, down from prior guidance of $625 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. The company’s guidance for total costs and savings over the life of the program are unchanged.

Also reflected in its guidance, the company now expects its 2007 full-year effective tax rate excluding items to average 33.5%, down from a previous expectation of 35.5%, due to the resolution of outstanding tax items as well as a change in the mix of earnings by country.

Despite significant ongoing increases in input costs, the company remains on track for incremental investments in growth for 2007 of $300-$400 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that certain non-GAAP measures and corresponding ratios provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. More specifically, management believes these non-GAAP measures reflect fundamental business performance because they exclude certain items that affect comparability of results.

The company’s top-line guidance measure is organic net revenues, which excludes the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. The company uses organic net revenues and corresponding growth ratios as non-GAAP financial measures. Organic net revenues is defined as net revenues excluding the impacts of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. Management believes this measure better reflects revenues on a go-forward basis and provides improved comparability of results.

The company is presenting various operating results, such as operating income, operating income margin, effective tax rate, net earnings and diluted EPS on both a reported basis and on a basis excluding items that affect comparability of results. When the company uses operating results, such as operating income, operating income margin, effective tax rate, net earnings and diluted earnings per share, excluding items, they are considered non-GAAP financial measures. The term “items” refers to asset impairment, exit and implementation costs primarily related to a restructuring program that began in the first quarter of 2004 (the “Restructuring Program”). These restructuring charges include separation-related costs, asset write-downs, and other costs related to the implementation of the Restructuring Program. Other excluded items pertain to asset impairment charges on certain long-lived assets; gains and losses on the sales of businesses; interest from tax reserve transfers from Altria Group, Inc.; and the favorable resolution of Altria Group, Inc.’s 1996-1999 IRS Tax Audit in 2006.

Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the company’s results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the non-GAAP financial measures the company is using may differ from non-GAAP financial measures that other companies use.
