General Mills saw a drop in packaged food sales over 2012-2017, hit by the decline of one of its main categories, breakfast cereals, in its US domestic market, and failing to capitalise on growth in yoghurt. Its performance was undermined by a reliance on developed markets, such as the US, for its Cheerios and Yoplait brands, and France for Yoplait. The rise of niche brands with natural and organic positioning, including Annie's and Lärabar, could not offset declines in key categories.
