Hey there and welcome back to Farm2Me Sustainable Food Systems. We help you discover the best D2C brands and the tech stacks powering them, since 2010.

We hope you are staying cool! This week we found a graphic of 10 Companies (that own all the grocery products & produce / meat / seafood) that make up the grocery stores all over the country, gross). Monopoly? How much of these companies are owned by the grocery stores themselves? How rigged is this industry? After Siete has been acquired by Frito Lays / PepsiCo for $1.2B, we have to start digging into which “small brands” these Top 10 acquired over the past 14 years, since 2010. And start blowing that up! New brands NOT ACQUIRED to breakdown (French Squirrel and Holy City Straw Co) to keep your snacks healthy and establishment sustainable ahead of the competition, as well as a unique tool to discuss (Black Crow AI).

Now, let’s get started 🛠️

10 Companies Own All The World’s Food Brands

Just when you think there's no end to the diversity of junk food lining supermarket aisles, an insanely detailed infographic shows that it’s actually the same 10 ingredients over and over again. 1,000s of “small batch” brands have been purchased over the past 10 years, and filled their small batch packaging with corporate ingredients. Try it out, Google your favorite brand + the word “acquired” and you’ll see who bought them out recently. Only ten companies manufacture the bulk of what we toss in our shopping carts at grocery stores in all 50 states.

Don’t let it happen! Share this news with all 25,000 of your customers and let’s reach 7.5M Americans shopping for healthy snacks for their kids.
