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:

2016 revenue: $13 billion

Forget Froot Loops and Frosted Flakes — Kellogg’s also owns noncereal brands including Eggo, Pringles, and Cheez-It.

Associated British Foods

2016 revenue: $16.8 billion

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

General Mills

General Mills is best known for cereals like Cheerios and Chex, but it also owns brands like Yoplait, Hamburger Helper, Haagen-Dazs, and Betty Crocker.
