Annie's

Grocery & Gourmet Food

Part of General Mills

Annie's is a subsidiary of General Mills known for USDA Certified Organic products made with 99% organic cacao and sugarcane. The brand has faced significant controversies since its 2014 acquisition by General Mills, including a 2021 class-action lawsuit alleging that its mac and cheese products contained undisclosed phthalates, chemicals linked to health issues in children. While Annie's discloses organic ingredient sourcing and has 90% recyclable packaging, labor and supply chain transparency remain limited.
