Happy 67th birthday, Cornelius “Corny” Rooster! 🎉 October marks the birth month of our beloved Kellogg’s Corn Flakes character – better known to his friends (and fans!) as Corny. Since 1957, Corny has been the cheerful face of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, bringing joy, energy and a sunny start to breakfast tables around the world. With his confident strut and unmistakable charm, he’s been reminding us for 67 years how to start the day right – with a bowl of Corn Flakes and a smile. His debut marked a bold shift from traditional packaging – and it was an instant hit. Check out the 1990’s video advertisement featuring Corny – a nostalgic look at the charm that’s made him a breakfast icon for generations.

    Today is World Food Day – a day to reflect on the importance of food security and our shared responsibility to help nourish our communities. 🌍 At WK Kellogg Co, we know that impactful change happens when we come together. Recently, our employees participated in a food drive to support the Bear Necessities Student Food Pantry at Kellogg Community College – collecting more than 600 pounds of food to help students and their families in need. This effort reflects our commitment to making a meaningful impact where we live and work. We're grateful to our team members who give generously – through both donations and their time. #WorldFoodDay #FeedingHappiness

Her story highlighted the power of relationships, courage, curiosity and a growth mindset – a sentiment that aligns well with our company Beliefs and Behaviors. Thank you, Toni, for showing us what bold leadership looks like! Kelly LaVergne Karen Keeder

    Our Foodservice Sales Team has been busy this year, launching new cereal assortments at over 200 colleges and universities – bringing WK Kellogg Co favorites to campuses where they’ve never been before. To celebrate, Tony the Tiger recently made special visits to campuses like the University of Arkansas, University of Florida and Louisiana State University where he met with students and staff enjoying fun, cereal-inspired menu items. We know our brands offer comfort and nostalgia to students away from home – and we’re proud to help create moments of joy and connection at campuses nationwide. #WeAreWK

    September is Hunger Action Month – a time to reflect, raise awareness and take action against food insecurity. At WK Kellogg Co, this mission is deeply rooted in our history. Since 1979, we've proudly partnered with Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. As a food company, we believe everyone deserves access to nourishing meals – and Feeding America’s network of food banks, pantries and meal programs helps make that possible across the country. Over the decades, our partnership has grown through impactful campaigns and generous donations. Every year, Kellogg Company has donated over 22 million pounds of food to Feeding America. Outside of donations, our employees continue to show up – volunteering their time to support local operations right here in Battle Creek and beyond. We’re proud of our legacy and remain committed to helping end hunger. This Hunger Action Month, we honor our past and look forward to building a more food-secure future together. #FeedingHappiness #WeAreWK
