Mondelez International, Inc. is an American multinational confectionery, food, holding, beverage, and snack food company based in Chicago. Mondelez has an annual revenue of about $38.5 billion and operates in approximately 160 countries. It ranked No. 108 in the 2021 Fortune 500 list of the largest United States corporations by total revenue. The company has its origins as Kraft Foods Inc., which was founded in Chicago in 1923. The present enterprise has operated since 2012 when Kraft Foods Inc. was renamed Mondelez and retained its snack food business, while its North American grocery business was spun off to a new company called Kraft Foods Group, which three years later merged with Heinz to form Kraft Heinz. The name Mondelez is derived from the Latin word mundus and delez, a derivative of the word "delicious". Mondelez manufactures chocolate, cookies, biscuits, gum, confectionery, and powdered beverages.
