Back to Nature is one of 61 brand names owned by the multinational corporation Kraft Foods. Kraft Foods had nearly $50 billion in revenue in 2010. Kraft acquired the Back to Nature brand name from Organic Milling Corporation in 2003. It appears that Organic Milling Corporation continues to manufacture Back to Nature products for Kraft.
