WK Kellogg Co introduced new offerings of its beloved as well as trusted brands to schools across the country. These better-for-you cereals are made to give kids the nutrition they need to thrive, making it easier than ever for schools to provide healthy, delicious options that help students perform at their best both in and out of the classroom.
With an utmost focus on meeting the needs of today’s K-12 environment, WK Kellogg Co is expanding its portfolio to include two new cereal options: Kashi® Strawberry Banana Loops™ and Kellogg's® Frosted Mini-Wheats® Cocoa. These new products are made to provide essential nutrients as well as great taste, ensuring that children have the energy they need to fuel their busy school days while enjoying a meal they love.
Families will recognize these popular cereals from stores, now available in sizes designed for schools. They cater to the USDA Smart Snacks as well as school breakfast nutrition standards, helping kids stay nourished throughout the day. The single-serve packaging makes them easy to serve, whether as part of a balanced breakfast or a quick snack during the school day.
For the first time, Kashi® is bringing its whole grains and plant-based nutrition to school menus. Kashi Strawberry Banana Loops provides 15g of whole grains and is a good source of fiber. This vegan, Non-GMO Verified cereal is made with real fruit purée and colored using vegetable juice, offering a great mix of taste and nutrition.
According to coherent market insights, the Functional Food Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during 2025 to 2032. Currently, the market is at USD 233.37 Bn in 2025 and is expected to be around USD 372.3 Bn by 2032. The growth of the elderly population globally is another major factor driving the functional foods market growth. In addition, the rise in fatal accidents related to intestinal inflammation is further bolstering the demand for functional foods.
"We're excited to bring these new offerings to the school environment. Parents and schools are looking for foods that are nutritious, convenient and accessible, and cereal is uniquely positioned to meet those needs. Cereal and milk is one of the first meals that kids can make for themselves, fostering independence and reinforcing positive eating patterns from an early age. It's the number one source of fiber and whole grains for kids at breakfast and brings other good foods along with it, like milk and fruit – making it a delicious and nutritious choice to fuel their day," said Sarah Ludmer, Chief Wellbeing & Sustainable Business Officer at WK Kellogg Co. "These new offerings give kids a food they love and provide schools with a balanced option they can feel good about serving – all in service of our shared goal to help kids be their best."
These new innovations show WK Kellogg Co’s commitment to improving school meals and keeping cereal a trusted, important part of a balanced diet. By providing options that meet federal standards and are both familiar and flexible for students, the company is helping schools serve meals that are nutritious and enjoyable, ensuring every bite contributes to student success.
