Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2015, by and among The Kraft Heinz Company (the “Company”), 3G Global Food Holdings LP and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (the “Selling Stockholder”), the Company filed a prospectus supplement on January 20, 2026 (the “Resale Prospectus Supplement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) solely to register the potential resale by the Selling Stockholder of up to an aggregate of 325,442,152 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”). The filing of the Resale Prospectus Supplement is not itself a sale of securities by the Selling Stockholder and does not necessarily mean that the Selling Stockholder will choose to sell any Shares. If any Shares are sold by the Selling Stockholder, the Company would not receive any proceeds from that sale. No securities will be issued or sold by the Company pursuant to the Resale Prospectus Supplement. The Resale Prospectus Supplement was filed pursuant to the Company’s automatic “shelf” Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-284906), previously filed with the SEC on February 13, 2025. The Company is filing this current report to provide the legal opinion as to the validity of the Shares covered by the Resale Prospectus Supplement, which opinion is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
