Bell Institute

The Bell Institute of Health & Nutrition, a vital part of General Mills, serves as a hub for scientific expertise in health and nutrition, established in the 1960s and officially named in the 1990s. The Institute's mission is to create value and growth by supporting General Mills' commitment to delivering nutritious foods and enhancing food security for consumers.

With a focus on nutrient density, personalized and sustainable diets, and dietary intake research, the Bell Institute prioritizes the development of products rich in positive nutrients like whole grains and fiber, while reducing ingredients such as sodium and sugar. The Institute has evolved from a U.S. retail focus to a comprehensive global health reporting system that monitors the nutritional profiles of its diverse product portfolio.

Through a range of resources including publications, webinars, and targeted events, the Bell Institute actively engages with various audiences, including healthcare and childcare providers, ensuring that healthful eating is accessible and effective for all individuals.
