General Mills

Fortune 500 corporation General Mills produces a huge array of consumer foods, from cereal to salsa. General Mills in its earliest incarnation was a pair of flour mills under the name Washburn Crosby Company. That company merged with others to create General Mills in 1928. Early on it began making breakfast cereal like Cheerios and Wheaties. While at one time General Mills oversaw the production of nonfood items like Play-Doh, now it focuses almost exclusively on food.
