Behind the brand.
General Mills is a food company formally created in 1928 from milling businesses whose roots reach 1866. It is a corporate portfolio of more than 100 brands, not one recipe or a single General Mills-branded product line. Its products span human food and pet food, so shoppers should identify the actual brand and item, then read the local package for current ingredients, allergens, nutrition and preparation guidance.
