Nestle, Kraft, and Unilever own most of our food brands!
I’ve been doing some research recently into a question that interests me as a consumer:
How many of the brands we see in grocery stores are sub-brands of well known companies?
Here’s what I found. There are three huge international food companies that own a whole whack of the brands we see in our grocery stores.
