ConAgra Foods Inc (CAG.N), Cargill Inc CARG.UL and CHS Inc (CHSCP.O) won U.S. antitrust approval on Tuesday to merge their North American flour mill operations after agreeing to sell four mills to a Japanese company.
The companies had announced in March 2013 that ConAgra Foods Inc would join Horizon Milling, a joint venture of Cargill Inc. and CHS Inc that is the largest flour miller in America. CHS is owned by farmers and cooperatives. The combined company will be called Ardent Mills.
