Interesting! Well, it's kind of a tough case. If anyone here knows someone who works for LU, how has things changed since they belong to Mondelez? Maybe there is a difference, but it's not like Kraft or Danone are pop and mom stores
Mondelez is the former snack-food branch of Kraft food. They renamed it and it went an independent company.
Kraft Group stayed for the grocery branch. Eventually, Kraft Group and Heinz merged into Heinz Kraft later.
If they was a change, it would be between Danone and Kraft. It's not the same management culture.
