Capital IQ Global Market Intelligence team analyzed the metrics in place when General Mills, Inc. (NYSE: GIS) purchased Annies Inc (NYSE: BNNY).

At the time of the announcement, Annies had posted revenue growth of 19.3 percent and EBITDA growth of 2.9 percent over the previous 12 months.

The year-over-year M&A deal values for packaged goods and meat fell in 2014, down from $40 billion one year ago to under $25 billion this year.

Taking a look at high growth companies in the packaged goods and meat field with market caps below $5 billion, along with one-year revenue and EBITDA growth expectations in excess of 20 percent, here are four potential takeover targets with similar metrics to Annies in the same industry:
