GENERAL MILLS, INC. is a Public Limited Company registered in United States under 36270F, and its current status with Minnesota Secretary of State is active. The company was incorporated on 22 July 1985 and lists its registered address as Minneapolis, United States. 5 shareholders are on record for GENERAL MILLS, INC., and since every one of them is a company rather than an individual, this particular filing does not on its own establish an ultimate beneficial owner (UBO) — identifying one would mean tracing the ownership of each shareholding company in turn. This profile is sourced directly from Minnesota Secretary of State and was last updated on 29 September 2026.

Shareholders

5

Shareholders of GENERAL MILLS, INC.

Five shareholders are currently on record for GENERAL MILLS, INC., reflecting the stock ledger maintained under state corporate law (e.g. §219 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) rather than a public filing. The largest of these is Vanguard Group Inc, holding 20.4% — the largest recorded stake — followed by SCHWAB STRATEGIC TRUST-Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF at 4.7%; the remaining 3 shareholders shown hold smaller stakes. Because every shareholder shown is a company rather than an individual, the ownership chain continues above this level, and no beneficial owner can be established from this filing alone.

Those 37 subsidiaries span United States, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, and 3 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. 12 of the 37 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
