Acquired By : General Mills Price : Not Disclosed

In 1999 General Mills acquired Small Planet Foods , rolling into its portfolio several organic and natural brand names like Cascadian Farm Organic and Muir Glen . In 2006 , Michael Pollan criticized Cascadian Farms in his book “ The Omnivore ’ s Dilemma ” for sliding on standards to only just meet the requirements for organic certification . Nevertheless , General Mills has been resolute in keeping Cascadian products organic and GMO-free while also contributing to important social causes like bee preservation and more sustainable packaging . 44 November 2014
