Kraft Heinz will restate its financial statements for 2016 and 2017, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday.

"As previously disclosed, the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018 by the prescribed due date. The Company's further delay in completing such filing is due to the length of time taken to conduct the investigation, which is substantially complete," the filing said.

"During the course of a thorough internal investigation, some discrepancies were uncovered which affected the way earnings were calculated between periods. While we don't believe that the misstatements are quantitatively material to any prior period, due to the qualitative nature of the matters identified, the Company determined that it is appropriate to correct the errors in previously issued financial statements," a Kraft Heinz spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC.

"The misstatements are described in greater detail in our filing but largely relate to the timing and recognition of supplier contracts in the procurement area. The Company is taking action to improve our policies and procedures and will continue to strengthen our internal financial controls. The findings from the investigation did not identify any misconduct by any member of the senior management team.
