B&G Foods (NYSE: BGS) is not your typical food company, and conservative investors should probably look at more mainstream fare like General Mills (NYSE: GIS) or Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ: KHC).

Here's a closer look.

General Mills is offering investors a dividend yield of 2.6%. Kraft Heinz's yield is 3.7%. B&G Foods' yield is around 5.5%. That's pretty attractively relative to other food makers and to the S&P 500 Index, where an index-linked ETF will only net you a yield of roughly 1.6%.
