Heinz announces three plants closure in North America

Heinz has announced the closure of two plants in the US and one in Canada.

The food maker says 1,350 jobs will be lost, which adds to the 600 job cuts announced in August.

Heinz was bought in June by Berkshire Hathaway, the investment firm owned by Warren Buffet, for $12.3 billion.

Production will be switched to other plants, which will receive fresh investment and new staff.

Heinz will employ around 6,800 staff in North America after the changes come into effect.
