Kraft Foods Inc. said that it will eliminate 30 jobs from its Tarrytown complex by the end of the year as part of a national program to cut costs.
The cuts affect about 5 percent of a work force of about 600 at the Tarrytown site that includes Kraft employees and contractors in a beverage unit that oversees such brands as Maxwell House, Country Time, Kool-Aid and Crystal Light.
The job cuts in Tarrytown are part of 400 job reductions in the United States and Canada that Kraft plans by the end of 2008. Kraft, the world’s second-largest food company, also plans cuts at its corporate headquarters in Northfield, Ill., and offices in Toronto, Glenview, Ill., East Hanover, N.J and Madison, Wis.
Kraft is cutting jobs at a time when food companies nationally are facing higher ingredient prices and consumers are watching their spending in a weakening economy.
