    This part of the article: "In 2010 it was purchased for $4 billion in a leveraged buyout by 3G Capital, the Brazilian private equity firm that also owns H.J. Heinz with Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/A) and whose principals are among the controlling shareholders of Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD)." explains this story about McDonalds no longer using Heinz ketchup because the contract went to Burger King. Of course the original article did mention the sale :"In February US investment star Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway together with Brazil’s 3G Capital took over Heinz in a $28 billion deal.", it doesn't mention how 3G also owns Burger King.
