Cream of Wheat is a prominent brand of farina, a type of porridge, that was first developed in the United States in 1893 by millers in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Known for its quick preparation time and smooth texture, it became a staple breakfast item across North America. The brand has been a definitive part of the hot cereal market for over a century.

Over its long history, the brand has changed hands several times. It was historically managed by Nabisco and later Kraft Foods. In 2007, B&G Foods acquired the brand from Kraft, integrating it into their diverse portfolio of shelf-stable household favorites. Today, the product is primarily manufactured in American facilities, continuing its legacy as a classic pantry staple for families in Canada and the United States.
