1. PepsiCo
2. Dole
The Bottom Line

Content: But more surprising, PepsiCo owns Frito-Lay, which produces an enormous variety of snack foods, including Ruffles, Lay's, Tostitos and Fritos brands. Healthier eaters might be surprised to find out that Pepsi owns Tropicana, some lines of the TAZO juice and tea brand and Quaker - which produces such wholesome foods as oatmeal, Mother's cereal and puffed wheat. And if you're curious who's winning the long-fought cola war - Coke or Pepsi - the Coca-Cola Company raked in just $31 billion in 2009. 2. Dole
Dole Food Company can pat itself on the back: It is the world's largest producer of fruit and vegetables. In 2009, the company saw revenues of approximately $6.8 billion, which is a far cry from its modest beginnings in Hawaii back in 1851. Missionaries Samuel Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke founded Castle & Cooke, and they invested in seafood packing, railroad production and shipping initiatives. That company acquired James Dole's Hawaiian Pineapple Company and the Standard Fruit Company by the 1960s. After Castle & Cooke was spun off in 1995, the produce giant moved its headquarters to Westlake Village, California.
