Kellogg’s was founded in 1906 by Will Keith Kellogg as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company. The company produced and marketed this hugely popular and successful product and was renamed Kellogg Company in 1922.
During the 1970’s the company began to acquire smaller companies, including Salada Foods, Fearn International, Mrs. Smith’s Pies, Eggo, and Pure Packed Foods.
In the 1980’s the company convinced American consumers to eat 26% more cereal and increased the ready-to-eat cereal market from $3.7 billion in 1983 to $5.4 billion in 1988.
During that time Kellogg’s also introduced new products such as Crispix, Raisin Squares, and Nutri-Grain Biscuits.
Today Kellogg’s produces cereals and convenience foods, including cookies, crackers, toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks, frozen waffles, and vegetarian foods.
The company’s products include Froot Loops, Corn Flakes, Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies, Special K, Cocoa Krispies, Keebler, Pringles, Pop-Tarts, Kashi, Cheez-It, Eggo, Nutri-Grain, and Morningstar Farms.
In 2022, Kellogg decided to break up its conglomerate and move its main headquarters to Chicago, Illinois.
Kellogg’s trades publicly on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol K, is a member of the S&P 500, is #184 in the Fortune 500, has 34,277 employees, and had $13.54 billion in revenue in 2018.
Kellogg currently maintains a corporate office on Wells Street in Chicago but is looking for a new location, most likely in the same city.

To the people who are mad at the whole “woke” culture.
I only have 3 words for you…. “Get. Over. It.”
There are WAAAAAYY more important things going on in the world.
How tf you gonna be mad at cereal and crackers? Seriously though? Its beyond stupid.
OMG, give this person a raise! Whoever thought of adding dried cranberries to your Raisin Bran is a genius! Delicious!! Please don’t tell me you’re going to make this a seasonal treat.

We will no longer purchase ANY Kellogg products. We can not support any business that is a Woke company as yours . As Christians we have remained silent too long. We are now awake! Your new branding of GLAAD cereals will not be in my home or my eight grandchildren’s homes. I am predicting your faith based investors will be selling their stocks.
Kind Regards,
Gigi
Kellogg’s has made a terrible impulsive decision to back the WOKE community. Your support of the LGBTQ community is just as repulsive and damaging. I have made the decision to stop buying Kelloggs products in light of these social policies and direction Kellogg’s has embarked upon. The liberal media has duped you into their fear mongering narrative. Your founder would be doing flips in his grave if he could see how low you have taken the Kellogg company.
I bought a large box of Rice Crispies as usual at Walmart Alexandria Mn. The rice crispies have a funny sweet smell. I have eaten 1/2 of the box and just threw it into the trash. I had my wife smell it and she said it was like perfume. pretty strong smell and taste. Just letting you know (for your info) . Jake
Kellogg’s has been my choice of cereal for many years now. Corn Flakes
(especially), Raisin Bran, Frosted Flakes and All Bran; wonderful great
tasting product!
I have been a steady customer of Kellogg’s for many years and have never been let own. Product is always fresh and tastes first class above all other brands;
especially Kellogg’s Corn Flakes! I haven’t patronized another brand in years.
I have tried unsuccessfully to talk to a Kellogg representative to learn if you are still making Chocolate Frosted Flakes. So far today alone, I have spent 1 hour on hold waiting for my call to reach a live representative. I can now sing the Pringles “wavy’ jingle in my sleep but I did not get to talk with one of your representatives. Three 20 minutes on-hold calls and zip, zilch, nada. I am fed up. In fact, I am to the point that I do not even want to eat another Chocolate Frosted Flake. You do not deserve my business. Wake up Mr. or Ms. Corporate America, we little folks are the backbone of your business. I am extremely disappointed in Kellogg’s.
I recently purchased a box of “New! 30 Single” at the Christmas Tree Shop in Lancaster, PA. The other day I grabbed a Cheez-It bag (white cheddar) and the bag was sealed but nothing in the bag. The UPC Proof of Purchase on the box is 0 24100 11169 5 – I don’t know if I typed that the way it is supposed to be typed. The numbers on the Cheez It bag are Apr 25 19BDB6. Other numbers are K 130577 003 NLl#13713. Thank you.
I purchase Special K with Red Berries and eat them once a day. The last two boxes I purchased had something hard in them. I bit down on this object and had shooting pain through my tooth into my bone. I was very upset when it was in another box that I purchased. I hope this does not continue or I will have to look into a different brand of cereal.
I recently made a first-time purchase at Sam’s in Altoona, PA of two bags totaling 58.8 ounces of Frosted Mini-Wheats. They were beyond stale!! My husband has been eating this cereal for decades; we’ve always been totally satisfied with the smaller boxes I purchased at a chain food store.
Just thought you’d like to know!
Thank you,

Not per se’ a complaint; your Thailand corn flakes has many round solid very hard unchewable pieces, we only selected Kellogg’s. This condition has worsened during the previous year. We live in the Philippines, previously sent this message to the local unit, reply was they would me a replacement – told them did not want a replacement wanted to alert the corporation of a defect.
My background is QA management, infant formula and splay drying, US and other countries.
The last box bar code: 8 852756 346053

I understand that Kellogg’s Company has made a decision to stop advertising on the Breitbart site. You are making a business decision that half the country will appreciate. I am only one person, but I do represent the OTHER half of the purchasing public in the U.S. Therefore I am also making a personal decision to stop buying Kellogg’s products. Luckily there are a lot of other choices out there. Good luck with that.
A word of advice, the public is very fickle, and the tide can turn on a dime. I’m disappointed that you have turned over your company to the whims of the media and Hollywood trendies. In the future you should not be so impulsive to cave to every news event out there.
