B&G Foods to buy General Mills’ Green Giant business for $765 million

B&G, which will enter the frozen food business with the deal, expects the acquisition to immediately add to earnings, it said in a statement on Thursday. Green Giant, whose mascot is the Jolly Green Giant, makes more than 160 products. General Mills said in July that it recorded a $260 million charge in the fourth quarter to write down the value of Green Giant after an assessment showed the business’s market value was lower than its carrying value.
