The Organic Food Space is Now Owned by Conventional Mega Food Corps

The next time you stack your grocery cart with your favorite picks from the Natural section in the grocery store, you might just be dropping money into the pocket of Big Food.

Kraft, the biggest food company on the planet, owns Boca Foods and Back to Nature. Pepsi (#3) has Naked Juice; General Mills (#6) has Cascadian Farm and Muir Glen; Dean Foods (#7) has Horizon, The Organic Cow of Vermont, and White Wave; and Heinz (#27) owns Arrowhead Mills, Garden of Eatin’, Nile Spice, Celestial Seasonings, and Spectrum Organic.
