Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 18, 2009, Irene B. Rosenfeld, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will participate in a panel discussion at The CIES World Food Business Summit. Ms. Rosenfeld is expected to disclose Kraft Foods’ Organic Revenue Growth rate of 3.4% from 2005 to 2006. Please see our GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliation attached as Exhibit 99.1 and on our Web site, www.kraftfoodscompany.com.

We report our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our top-line guidance measure is organic net revenues, which excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and currency. We use organic net revenues and corresponding growth rates as non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes this measure better reflects revenues on a going-forward basis and provides improved comparability of results.

Pursuant to General Instruction B.2. to Form 8-K, the information set forth in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
