Expanding its portfolio of food products that deliver digestive health benefits, Attune Foods, San Francisco, CA, has acquired the Uncle Sam and Erewhon cereal brands from US Mills, LLC. Uncle Sam cereal, introduced in 1908, is an all-natural, high fiber cereal that contains a blend of toasted whole grain wheat flakes and flax seed. In addition to providing an “excellent” source of naturally occurring dietary fiber, it is low in sodium and sugar. Erewhon is an all-natural, gluten-free cereal brand that is available in more than a dozen varieties. Many varieties are wheat-free, low in sodium, low in fat and have long been a staple in gluten-free diets. In addition to the purchase of Uncle Sam and Erewhon, Attune Foods is also acquiring Skinner’s Raisin Bran and New Morning cereal and graham cracker brands.
