'Supply is not keeping up with demand, and extreme weather is making the situation worse.' CNN's MattEganCNN reports on supply chain problems, which are likely to persist into the next year.

And he doesn’t see an end to either issue anytime soon. “We’ve already increased the prices that we were expecting this year, but I’m predicting that next year, inflation will continue, and as a consequence [we] will have other rounds of price increases,” Patricio said in an interview with CNN Business. For its second quarter ended June 25, Kraft Heinz raised its prices overall by 12.4 percentage points compared to the year-earlier period.

Kraft Heinz has also leaned into different packaging and pricing options for consumers, including bulk value packs of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese and wider variety of bottle sizes for products like Heinz ketchup for shoppers who want smaller, lower-priced choices. “It’s a constant fight to try to minimize price increases,” Patricio said. Part of that fight is Patricio’s “obsessive” tracking of potential supply chain issues.
