Kraft Foods Inc. said Tuesday its fourth-quarter profit more than tripled on strength in developing markets and continued benefits from its restructuring plan to focus more on its money-making products. The food maker, which is buying British candy maker Cadbury, said it expects long-term earnings growth at the high end of its previous guidance. Kraft, whose brands include Maxwell House, Oreo cookies and its namesake cheese, said profit surged to $710 million, or 48 cents per share, for the period ended Dec. 31. That's up from $178 million a year ago.
