General Mills

General Mills is proud of its longstanding partnership with NWA and WIC.  Our relationship with WIC started over 40 years ago when Cheerios cereal was reformulated with more iron to meet the needs of WIC participants.  Today, General Mills manufactures over 250 products that meet federal eligibility requirements.  From popular cereal brands like Cheerios™, Kix™, and Chex™ cereals, to Yoplait®; and Mountain High™ yogurt, Progresso™ beans, Muir Glen™ Tomatoes, to Cascadian Farm™ frozen fruit and vegetables – we make delicious, widely-available products that WIC consumers are proud to provide to their families. 

Our WIC team brings food manufacturer expertise to help WIC understand marketplace and consumer dynamics.  Together with NWA, we believe that our partnership helps to make a difference in the health outcomes of participants.  Our support is unwavering and we look forward to our continued partnership.
