INTRODUCTION

This Amendment No. 28 amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (as amended, the “Schedule TO”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 4, 2009, as subsequently amended from time to time, by Kraft Foods Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Kraft Foods”). The Schedule TO relates to the offer by Kraft Foods to acquire all outstanding ordinary shares of 10 pence each (“Cadbury ordinary shares”) of Cadbury plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“Cadbury”), including those Cadbury ordinary shares represented by American Depositary Shares (“Cadbury ADSs”), each of which represents four Cadbury ordinary shares. In the offer, Kraft Foods is offering 500 pence in cash and 0.1874 shares of Class A common stock, without par value, of Kraft Foods (“Kraft Foods common stock”) in exchange for each outstanding Cadbury ordinary share, including each Cadbury ordinary share represented by a Cadbury ADS, validly tendered and not withdrawn, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange (as defined below) and the related revised Final Form of Acceptance and revised ADS Letter of Transmittal. As one Cadbury ADS represents four Cadbury ordinary shares, for each Cadbury ADS validly tendered and not withdrawn, the holder thereof will receive 2,000 pence in cash and 0.7496 shares of Kraft Foods common stock. The offer includes a mix and match election facility.

On January 29, 2010, Kraft Foods filed with the SEC Amendment No. 3 to its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (file
no. 333-163483) relating to the offer (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The terms and conditions of the offer are set forth in the prospectus/offer to exchange, which is a part of the Registration Statement (as amended, the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), and the related revised Final Form of Acceptance and revised ADS Letter of Transmittal, which are filed as Exhibits (a)(4)(A), (a)(1)(CC) and (a)(1)(GG), respectively, hereto.

Items 1 through 11.

As permitted by General Instruction F to Schedule TO, the information in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the related revised Final Form of Acceptance and revised ADS Letter of Transmittal, which are filed as Exhibits (a)(4)(A), (a)(1)(CC) and
(a)(1)(GG), respectively, hereto, and any prospectus supplement or other supplement thereto related to the offer hereafter filed with the SEC by Kraft Foods, is hereby incorporated by reference in answer to Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented as provided herein.
