The remaining business includes its snacks, noodles, international cereal and North American frozen breakfast brands.Names for the new companies haven't yet been decided, and proposed management teams for the two spinoffs will be announced by the first quarter of next year. Cahillane will stay on as chief executive of the global snacking company.
