The mac and cheese brand Goodles, which counts Gal Gadot as an investor, has been acquired by Barilla Group.

Gal and her husband Jaron Varsano were among the founding investors of the brand, which has been marketed as a healthier and more nutritious option for mac and cheese.

Barilla will keep Goodles’ headquarters in Santa Cruz, California and there will be no changes to the current staff, including CEO Jen Zeszut. She will continue to lead the Goodles team and report to Barilla.

Variety reports that it’s “unclear how Gadot might be involved with the brand going forward” and a rep for the brand confirmed that she was only involved as an investor. Throughout the years, she has been involved in promoting the brand, including the above appearance at a grocery store in 2022.

The terms of the deal have not been disclosed, so it’s not known how much the brand was sold for, or how much money Gal is earning for her role as an investor.

“Today is an important day for our Group,” said Guido Barilla, Chairman of the Barilla Group. “We had been following GOODLES closely for some time and became increasingly impressed by the strength of the brand, the quality of its products, and the momentum behind its growth. As we got to know the management team, led by Jen Zeszut, we were equally impressed by the strength of the organization, its unity, and its forward-looking mindset. Together, these qualities convinced us that GOODLES was the right choice and represents an exciting opportunity for the future.”

Shay Mitchell recently earned a big payday from the sale of her brand.
