About
Cheerios is the iconic whole grain oat cereal brand owned by General Mills, serving as the company's flagship product and one of the most recognized breakfast cereal brands in the world. Originally launched in 1941 as CheeriOats before being renamed Cheerios in 1945, the brand became the best-selling cereal in the US — a position it has held for decades — through a combination of health messaging (heart health claims since the 1990s), versatile flavor extensions, and universal appeal across age groups from infants to seniors.
