07 Dec 2016 --- General Mills, the maker of Yoplait and Old El Paso, is axing as many as 600 jobs as part of a restructure in a bid to adapt its business to changing consumer tastes. The US packaged goods giant said between 400 and 600 jobs would go globally, as part of the reorganization which will see the role of international chief operating officer become defunct. The new structure will see General Mills split into four business groups: North America Retail, Europe & Australia, Asia & Latin America, and convenience stores & foodservice.
