About the author
General Mills is an American food company with roots going back to 1866, when Cadwallader Washburn built a flour mill in Minneapolis. The modern company was formally established in 1928, and over time it grew far beyond flour into packaged foods sold across the United States and around the world.
Its history includes some of the best-known names in consumer food. General Mills has been associated with brands such as Cheerios, Wheaties, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley, and Blue Buffalo, reflecting a long shift from milling into cereals, baking products, snacks, meals, and pet food.
Today, the company is headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota, near Minneapolis. Its long history combines old industrial roots with a strong presence in modern grocery aisles, making it one of the most recognizable names in American packaged food.
