Post Cereals

Post Cereals is a legacy brand in the American breakfast food industry, originally founded by C.W. Post in 1895. The brand became famous for its innovations in the ready-to-eat cereal market with staples such as Postum, Grape-Nuts, and Honey Bunches of Oats. Over the decades, the brand has undergone several ownership changes, reflecting the consolidation of the global food manufacturing sector.

Today, the brand is owned by Post Holdings, Inc., a large American consumer packaged goods holding company. Manufacturing for their extensive cereal line occurs primarily in large-scale facilities across the United States and Canada. The brand remains a dominant player in the global cereal market, maintaining a significant portfolio of household names.

Post Holdings operates as a publicly traded entity headquartered in Missouri. While it started as a spin-off from Ralcorp, it has grown into a massive parent company that manages various food categories, including refrigerated side dishes and protein supplements, though cereals remain their most iconic heritage product line.
