Exhibit 99.3

Dear Valued Partner,

Today, we announced an exciting new strategic combination with General Mills in which Annie’s will become part of General Mills’ natural and organic business. We are excited about this opportunity and believe strongly that it is the right next step in the company’s development.

With General Mills’ support, Annie’s will remain committed to our mission: to cultivate a healthier and happier world by spreading goodness through nourishing foods, honest words and conduct that is considerate and forever kind to the planet. Authentic roots, great tasting products, high quality organic and natural ingredients, and sustainable business practices will continue to be the cornerstones of our brand.

With General Mills behind us, we will have the scale and resources to invest more heavily in the growth of the Annie’s business, expanding the reach and breadth of our high quality, great tasting organic and natural products. This should also mean more opportunity.

We greatly value our partnership with you. Until the transaction closes, it will be business as usual, and we will give as much notice as possible of any changes you should know about once it is completed.

I’ve attached today’s press release with more details. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Again, we’re excited about this opportunity and thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to Annie’s.

Sincerely,

XX
