(Reuters) – U.S. food and beverage company Kraft Heinz Co (KHC.O) had achieved the target of cutting $1.7 billion in costs by the end of 2017, the company said in a presentation on Thursday.

The fifth-largest food and beverage company in the world, which would announce its quarterly results on Friday, said it slashed its operating costs by over 5 percent since it acquired Kraft Foods Group in 2015. (bit.ly/2F6csIx)
