"By combining Annie's commitment to organic, great-tasting products, and General Mills' capabilities and distribution, we are able to make a bigger impact on the organic industry and consumers."

Annie's Certified Organic Soups are made with high-quality ingredients and taste great. Both tomato varieties offer cup of vegetables per serving, while Annie's chicken-based soups use only organic chicken and broth with no antibiotics added.
