Only 10 companies control almost every large food and beverage brand in the world.
These companies — Nestlé, PepsiCo, Coca-Cola, Unilever, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg's, Mars, Associated British Foods, and Mondelez — each employ thousands and make billions of dollars in revenue every year.
Here's a further breakdown of the companies that own the brands and products we use every day:

This British company owns brands such as Dorset Cereals and Twinings tea, as well as the retailer Primark.
