Nutrition

Nutrition and ingredient information, made easier 

We proudly offer a broad range of products to meet the needs and preferences of our consumers.

Food plays a role in everyday decisions, from what to eat to what to serve and what feels right for you and your family.

At General Mills, we make food that fits these moments, made with care and focused on value, taste, health and convenience. We also put useful, fact-based information on our food and websites to help consumers make informed choices.  

We’re always looking to the future and investing in product innovation and renovation to keep up with how people eat today and how that’s changing.  

Helping people make informed choices 

Understanding what’s in your food should be simple.

We include ingredient lists and nutrition information on every package, following local requirements, while remaining consistent with our global standards. The goal is making information easy to find and easy to understand, so people can make informed choices.

Nutrition expertise at General Mills 

The Bell Institute of Health and Nutrition is our center of expertise for health and nutrition.

Our food experts and registered dietitians bring together knowledge in nutrition science, public health and food science to shape our products and help us make food the world loves.  

Research and innovation guide how we meet changing needs, respond to new science and feed a growing global population.

How we improve nutrition 

Over the years, we’ve made significant progress reformulating products by increasing positive nutrients, like whole grains, fiber and iron, and reducing other nutrients like sodium and sugar.

Progress is tracked through our global health reporting system, which uses established nutrition criteria and dietary guidance to evaluate our portfolio.

Key nutrients in our foods 

Many General Mills products are designed to help people include positive nutrients in their diets, including whole grain, fiber, protein and other essential vitamins and minerals. We continue to expand options to meet evolving consumer needs and preferences.

Whole grain is a key focus area, with most of our cereal portfolio providing at least 8 grams of whole grain per labeled serving.  

Fiber supports digestive health and our Fiber One brand can help people meet daily recommendations.  

We offer a variety of products with protein, including Cheerios protein and Annie’s SuperMac.

These choices make it easier to get more of the nutrients in the foods people already enjoy.
