Information Density: General Mills – Signal Evidence & AI Readability

General Mills

Information Density — The Lens

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Info Density Power-words vs. Substance ratio.

The site maintains a high substance ratio despite corporate-leaning headings. While H1 and H2 tags like ‘We make food the world loves’ and ‘From our family to yours’ are emotionally driven, the body text provides specific metrics such as ’10-12 grams of plant-based protein’ for LÄRABAR and ‘150 years’ of history. The presence of dated Q&A content from May 2026 (current) with named segment presidents provides a dense layer of factual evidence compared to standard industry fluff.

Information Density is read straight from the body copy: how much of the text carries grounded, checkable substance versus hollow filler. Below is the clean text the engine analyzed, then the industry’s known generic-claim patterns to weigh it against.

Semantic Drift Patterns: homepage claims fine dining but menu prices are casual, claims locally sourced but no suppliers named, homepage shows plated dishes but delivery menu is different items, claims authentic cuisine but menu is fusion with no cultural specificity…
Proof Expectations: food hygiene rating displayed, named ingredient suppliers and sources, chef background and culinary credentials, real food photography not stock images, current menu with accurate pricing, allergen and dietary information…
