Billionaire investor Warren Buffett, who is a leading shareholder in Kraft Foods, has warned the US foods firm against overpaying for the British confectionery firm Cadbury, a media report says.

As on February 4, Kraft Foods received valid acceptances in respect of 1,03,87,20,625 Cadbury shares (including those represented by Cadbury ADSs), amounting to around 75.41 per cent of the existing issued share capital of Cadbury, Kraft Foods said.
