number 10 Associated British Foods who
like push cheese on tape yeah she’s
gonna go May okay the billet though the
name says British foods this company is
a multinational provider of all the
things you need to make your meals based
out of London England and founded in

player in the world of baking
ingredients in fact it’s the second
largest maker of sugar and baker’s yeast

Fleischmann’s and Missoula and other
stores around the world this company has
a part in your food no matter where you
get it but the oil is pure does the

number nine PepsiCo Incorporated and
it’s the choice of a new generation
Pepsi and coca-cola may be in a
permanent battle for beverage supremacy
but the corporation that owns the Pepsi
label is the one that makes this list
thanks in part to its huge portfolio of
products that expands outside the realm
of drinks
though it was first founded in the late
1800s the company became PepsiCo Inc in
1965 after its merger with frito-lay
today Mountain Dew and of course Pepsi
our flagship brands of the multinational
company but Gatorade Tropicana fruit
drinks and Quaker foods
appeal to other taste buds Oh quick
responding making cookies yeah this one
has chocolate chips almonds and of
course whole grain oats hmm
PepsiCo also likely dominates your break
room vending machine with Lay’s Doritos
Cheetos and other favorite snack options
number eight McDonald’s Corporation
there’s nothing like the world-famous
taste of McDonald’s crispy golden french
fries whenever you go to the drive-thru
at the golden arches you become one of
the 68 million people served at the
fast-food joint every day McDonald’s has
a presence in 119 countries and
generates revenues of roughly twenty
eight billion dollars annually all
brought in one happy meal at a time how
did your McDonald’s Happy Meal
originally founded by the McDonald
brothers in California in nineteen forty
McDonald’s became the business it is
today thanks to Ray Kroc who opened his
first ranch eyes in 1955 and eventually
bought the brothers out and expanded it
worldwide in in Paris you can buy beer
McDonald’s like it or not the company
and its Ronald McDonald mascot have
become a symbol of the American
lifestyle selling cheap fast food albeit
with a questionable history of health
there’s always an extra fry at the
bottom
number seven Monsanto Company you may
not be as familiar with Monsanto the
company doesn’t produce a food product
that sits on a shelf but it’s heavily
involved in the agricultural industry
responsible for herbicides pesticides
and seeds that help produce the massive
crops needed to feed billions around the
world Monsanto was created in 1901 and
originally sold food additives we’re
committed to helping farmers double
yields by 2030 though an innovator in
the biotech industry the company
regularly comes under fire for its
genetically modified crops and for
controversial products for which it was
once responsible including harmful
chemicals like DDT Agent Orange and
bovine growth hormone trust the
corporation’s out to put people’s health
above profit because that’s what they
put a contentious entrant on this list
Monsanto has no doubt impacted the food
industry for better or worse
I’ve been eating Monsanto products for
years and have had no effect um ah ah
number six
clip 10 on in the United States this
multinational is better known as the
denon company but it doesn’t matter
where in the world you are you’ll find
it hard not to come across a product
produced by crook than done
founded in Spain in 1919 but now
headquartered in France dairy products
are the primary seller from this brand
and yogurt is its top product with
brands like Denon Actimel Activia and
brown cow all representing the company

variety of bottled water brands like
Evian around the world
number five Kraft Heinz Company Kraft
has a tremendous under nine year legacy
as a maker of great brands thanks to
great people the dairy section of your
local grocery store is likely dominated
by the Kraft logo the brand has come a
long way since its humble beginnings in
Chicago in 1903 when JL Kraft started
selling cheese door-to-door Kraft
American singles double the calcium now
with vitamin D instrumental in
instituting a pasteurizing process that
allowed cheese to be transported
worldwide Kraft was acquired by national
dairy in 1930 but regained its name in
1969 when the company started focusing
on more than just dairy in 2012 Kraft
Foods Group became the company’s North
American spin-off with international
snacks falling under the Mondelez
international banner meaning that
household brands like Oscar Mayer jell-o
and Velveeta are still sold under the
Kraft name you know you love it the over
forty billion dollar merger announced in
2015
between Kraft and fellow American
company Heinz means that the Kraft Heinz
company will be one of the world’s top
five largest food companies
number four Mondelez international
incorporated in 2012 Kraft Foods
Incorporated splintered keeping its name
for the much smaller North American
branch of the company that eventually
merged with Heinz and christening its
international arm Mondelez international
today Mondelez is a multinational
corporation that produces many of the
food and snack brands that once fell
under the Kraft label many of which were
acquired in the 1989 merger of Kraft and
General Foods
if you’ve snacked on Oreos or any

chocolate then you’ve helped Mondelez
generate some of its roughly 36 billion
dollars in annual revenues Ritz cracker

secretive and relatively low profile you
may never have heard of Cargill but it’s
the United States biggest family-owned
company the international food

Wallace Cargill at the tail end of the
civil war in 1865 and today over a dozen
of his descendents are billionaires more
billionaires in one family than any

adapted to consumer needs and blossomed
into a multinational that takes in
roughly 135 billion dollars a year in
