-Kraft Foods Censors Tobacco Talk at Annual Meeting

EAST HANOVER, NJ - April 22 - At Kraft Foods annual shareholders?f meeting, Infact activists representing a Kraft shareholder were refused timely entry into the meeting, preventing the corporate accountability group from addressing shareholders and executives. Last year Infact representatives were the only people to speak directly to Kraft?fs tobacco connection at the annual meeting. This year, Infact representatives were held at the door with questionable claims of concerns about their paperwork until the meeting was nearly over.
