Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Proposed separation transaction | Proposed separation transaction During 2022, the Company announced its intent to separate its North American cereal business, via tax-free spin-off, with a target to complete the transaction during the fourth quarter of 2023, resulting in two independent public companies, each better positioned to unlock their full standalone potential. The transaction 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 transaction, effectiveness of appropriate filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the completion of audited financials of the new independent company. We cannot assure that the North American cereal transaction will be completed on the anticipated timeline or at all or that the terms of the separation will not change. The Company incurred pre-tax charges related to the proposed separation of $51 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2023, including $4 million in COGS and $47 million in SGA expense. These charges were primarily related to legal and consulting costs.
