About General Mills
General Mills, Inc. is an American manufacturer and marketer of branded consumer foods, headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota, outside Minneapolis.[1] It was created on 20 June 1928 when Washburn-Crosby president James Ford Bell merged Washburn-Crosby with three other mills, and its shares were first traded on the New York Stock Exchange that November.[1] Its brands include Cheerios, Betty Crocker, Gold Medal, Nature Valley, Old El Paso, Häagen-Dazs and, since it bought The Pillsbury Company from Diageo in 2001, Pillsbury.[1][2] It is the top company of its own group: its LEI record reports no direct or ultimate accounting consolidation parent, with the reason NO_KNOWN_PERSON.[3]
