An updated version of Dr. Phillip H. Howard's Who Owns Organic info graphic is now available here. When Howard, who is an associate professor at Michigan State University, first made the info graphic is 2012, a number of independent organic brands had been acquired by larger food corporations. Howard updated the chart because, as he writes, "A second wave of acquisitions has been occurring since 2012. Few companies identify these ownership ties on product labels."
For those of you out there who try to be as social responsible as possible with your dollars, information like this may be overwhelming and, perhaps disempowering-- but there's a small silver lining in this story. For your sake, we'd like to note that Howard has a different chart showing major independent organic food brands and their subsidiaries. You can still feel good about supporting these guys!
