Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is set to lose more than $3 billion in a single day after Kraft Heinz revealed a string of disappointing news.

Stock of the packaged food giant, whose products include Heinz Tomato Ketchup and Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, plunged more than 24 percent before the bell.

And for Berkshire — which owned more than 325 million shares at the end of 2018 — the losses will be steep.

"They're still very, very good businesses," Buffett said of his consumer staple holdings Kraft Heinz and Coca-Cola as recently as May 2018.

    Large drop in Apple price also expected to hit Berkshire value.

    Buffett is expected to release his annual shareholder letter as well as FY2018 results on Saturday.
