Annie's Homegrown Organic Shells & Cheddar

Annie's Homegrown is a widely recognized brand specializing in organic and natural food products, most famous for its macaroni and cheese. The brand was originally founded in 1989 by Annie Withey and Andrew Martin in the United States, starting as a mission-driven company focused on providing healthier alternatives to mainstream pantry staples. Their iconic "Rabbit of Approval" mascot, Bernie, has become a symbol of their commitment to organic ingredients and sustainable farming practices.

Today, Annie's operates as a major subsidiary of General Mills, a global food powerhouse. While the brand maintains its distinct identity and focus on organic certification, it benefits from the massive distribution network and manufacturing capabilities of its parent company. The products sold in Canada, such as this organic shells and cheddar variety pack, are typically manufactured in the United States using ingredients sourced from both domestic and international organic farms. The ultimate ownership lies with General Mills, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, ensuring that Annie's remains a North American staple in the organic food aisle.
