In an interview with CNBC's "Squawk Box," Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO, said that, from an operational standpoint "Heinz will be 3G's baby."

Buffett said he first started talking about the Heinz deal back in December, "but I have a file on Heinz that goes back to 1980."

"This is my kind of deal and my kind of partner," he added. "Heinz is our kind of company with fantastic brands."
