Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Proposed spin-off transaction [Text Block] | Proposed separation transactions On June 21, 2022, the Company announced its intent to separate its North American cereal and plant-based foods businesses, via tax-free spin-offs, with a target to complete the transactions by the end of 2023, resulting in three independent public companies, each better positioned to unlock their full standalone potential. While we announced a plan to separate our plant-based food business through a tax free spin-off, we are also exploring other strategic alternatives, including a possible sale. We cannot assure that the transactions will be completed on the anticipated timeline or at all or that the terms of the separations will not change. The transactions will follow the satisfaction of customary conditions, including reviews and final approval by Kellogg’s Board of Directors, receipt of an Internal Revenue Service ruling and relevant tax opinions with respect to the tax-free nature of the transactions, effectiveness of appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the completion of audited financials of the new independent companies. The Company incurred charges related to the proposed separations of $18 million and $22 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended October 1, 2022, respectively, primarily related to legal and consulting costs.
