I was reading the book: Industrial Organic Food by Michael Pollan and in the book it tells you all about organic food and farms etc.
I came across this page that shows some brands who are owned by other major companies. Here is a list!
Coca Cola owns: Honest Tea, Odwalla
Dean owns: Horizon, White wave/Silk
Danon owns : Stonyfield Farms
General Mills owns: Cascadian Farm, Muir Glenn
Hain Celestial (Heinz and cargill) owns: Sunspire Spectrum Organics, Garden of Eatin', Imagine/Rice Dream/Soy Dream, Celestial Seasonings.
Kellogg owns: Bear naked, Kashi, Morningstar Farms/natural touch
Kraft owns: Boca Foods, Back to Nature
Pepsi owns: Naked Juice
Unilever owns: Ben & Jerry's
The following companies have refused buyout from larger companies:
Amy's Kitchen
Clif bar
Newman's Own
Applegate Farms
Eden Foods
This just makes me wonder why Pepsi, Coca Cola, Kraft and Kellogg don't make their signature products healthier! They have the knowledge to do so.
We are huge Newman's Own fans in our household. Delicious stuff and far better for us!
