As part of its Feeding Happiness commitment, WK Kellogg Co introduced Kellogg's Super Stars, a new portfolio of K-12 cereals designed to make nourishing breakfasts more accessible and enticing to students. A one-ounce serving is a source of fiber and Vitamin D, plus other vitamins and minerals, and they're dropping in kid-approved flavors like Celebration Crunch, Cinnamon Crunch, Fruity Crunch and Honey Crunch with star-shaped pieces selected by kids as their favorite. Super Stars are debuting in several flexible formats, including ready-to-serve one-ounce bowls, two-ounce cups and one-ounce pouches to reduce prep time and labor in schools.
Kellogg's Super Stars will be introduced to school nutrition professionals at the 2026 School Nutrition Association's Annual National Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, and will be available for the 2027-2028 school year.
