General Mills: version 3
Saved 2026-09-27 04:41 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the EST. 7750 flag from the official USDA FSIS inspection directory (MPI_Directory_by_Establishment_Name.csv, Wayback capture 2026-09-10): establishment M7750+P7750 at 2403 South Pennsylvania Ave., Wellston, OH is operated by General Mills Operations, Inc. (Exhibit 21.1 lists it as General Mills Operations, LLC). Created company/general-mills-operations with owned_by general-mills (^ex21), the EST. 7750 identification-mark row and its Golden Valley M21115 plant row. On General Mills added an Establishments table with its own FSIS plant (M5538+P5538, Hannibal, MO), an About passage on the Wellston plant and the 2007 Totino's/Jeno's recall, and References rows fsis-mpi and cidrap; ex21 locator now also names General Mills Operations, LLC. Other sections unchanged; no Meta section. Source discrepancy: FSIS lists the operator as Inc., the 10-K as LLC; both kept as legal aliases.. This is the current version.
