Goodles Thinks Mac and Cheese Shouldn't Be Adults' Secret Meal Anymore
A new brand of macaroni and cheese is winning market share and taking over shelves with its colorful boxes, cheeky names and focus on young adults who previously may have seen packaged powder and noodles as a meal choice to hide. Goodles markets its products as 'Noodles, Gooder' by virtue of being nutrient-dense, and containing more protein and fiber than competitors. Since its introduction online in 2021, the brand has inspired countless TikTok videos ranking grown-up flavors like 'Smokey Dokey' and 'Here Comes Truffle,' added distribution at big retailers including Target and Whole Foods, and opened a sign-up list for its new microwavable cups after its website sold out of the first run in one night.

Kraft Heinz is taking the macaroni & cheese out of its ketchup business in mega-split after infamous merger
Kraft Heinz is taking the macaroni & cheese out of its ketchup business in a mega-split after its infamous 2015 merger, according to a new report. The mammoth packaged foods company plans to spin off a big portion of its business, which includes Kraft products, into a new firm, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing people familiar. The breakup comes as consumers turn away from processed foods and toward healthier options. Signs of trouble in grocery paradise began to emerge as early as 2019, when Kraft Heinz reduced the value of Kraft and Oscar Mayer meat products by $15 billion, the Journal reported. The company is currently worth $31 billion as one entity. If the company went through with its plans, the new firm that would house Kraft products could be valued at as much as $20 billion, the Journal 's sources say. The hope with the breakup is that the two firms would be worth more in total than the mega-company is currently worth. The Journal 's sources say the company's plans could be finalized in the coming weeks, but its board has yet to agree on a final decision. Kraft Heinz is tight-lipped about any specifics, with a company spokesperson telling the Journal, 'As announced in May, Kraft Heinz has been evaluating potential strategic transactions to unlock shareholder value.' At the time of the Kraft Heinz merger, Forbes reported it was expected to be the third-largest food company in the U.S. and fifth-largest in the world. After a decade in business together, ketchup and macaroni and cheese seem to have note been a good combination, at least in terms of stocks. In late September 2015, the company's stock sat at $70.58 a share, according to data from the Journal. As of the stock market's close Friday afternoon, it was at $27.14, MarketWatch reports.
