Golden Valley-based General Mills will start shipping more than three dozen new yogurt products next month as it tries to revitalize its U.S. yogurt business. Some of the new items include a 100-calorie Yoplait Greek yogurt and Yoplait Fruplait.

General Mills is coming under fire by nearly 20 children’s advocacy, health and public interest groups for violating a federal law to protect children's privacy, the New York Times reports. The coalition claims five well-known companies, including the Golden Valley-based cereal maker, are encouraging kids, who play games or use other features on their websites, to provide email addresses of their friends without seeking parental consent.

Golden Valley-based General Mills Inc. says that its fiscal first-quarter profit went up 35 percent, with acquisitions lifting sales, the Associated Press reports. The results in the latest quarter were aided by the food maker's purchase of a controlling stake in Yoplait International and Food Should Taste Good, a natural snack foods company.

The Golden Valley-based company reported a 9 percent sales increase, despite alack of demand in Western Europe. Pentair is in the process of merging with Tyco International's Flow Control business.

The Golden Valley-based restaurant chain is building a new restaurant in Williston, N.D. The Business Journal reports the new Buffalo Wild Wings location is scheduled to open in February.

The new logo still features the same colors, but drops the tagline "Grill & Bar" and replaces it with "Wings. Beer. Sports." Golden Valley-based Buffalo Wild Wings also says the distinctive buffalo image is "more muscular and athletic." The company will officially unveil its new redesigned restaurants later this year.
