Oct 30 (Reuters) - Kraft Heinz ( KHC ) on Wednesday

posted a steeper-than-expected fall in quarterly revenue as

demand stayed weak for its branded meal kits and snacks with

consumers trading down to cheaper, private-label alternatives.

The packaged food giant's net sales fell 2.8% to $6.38

billion, compared with analysts' estimates of $6.42 billion,

according to data compiled by LSEG.
