Kellogg Company announced today plans for seven new cereals from some of the company's most-beloved U.S. brands, reflecting what many of today's consumers are seeking in their breakfast choice: great taste, innovative ingredients, more protein, less sugar, and options that are gluten-free. 

New Product Details

For people looking for good sources of protein as they manage their weight, Special K® Protein Cinnamon Brown Sugar Crunch cereal provides a unique crunchy shape and 11 grams of protein with ½ cup skim milk. 

Special K Gluten Free cereal features delicious multi-grain flakes (corn, sorghum and rice) with a touch of brown sugar.  It is a delicious option for people who are managing their weight, while also providing a good source of fiber which people who are avoiding gluten may lack in their diets.

When a grain sprouts, it releases vital nutrients and enzymes.  New Kashi Sprouted Grains Multi-Grain organic cereal is made with 100-percent sprouted grains in its satisfying  whole grain flakes made with wheat, brown rice, oats, barley, spelt and amaranth. The cereal is USDA Certified Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified.

Now it's one scoop of raisins and one scoop of cranberries in new Kellogg's® Raisin Bran with Cranberries. The new cereal provides an excellent source of fiber and antioxidant vitamin E, along with a delicious tart and sweet flavor combination and crisp bran flakes.

Parents will love new Froot Loops® Bloopers cereal because it provides a good source of fiber, is made with whole grain, and has 10 grams of sugar per 28 g serving. It also has the fruity taste, and aroma that kids love.

Two new flavors from Bear Naked® Granola -- Sea Salt Caramel Apple and Coconut Almond Curry -- will awaken the senses and help fuel the most epic adventures.  They are great in a bowl with milk or straight from the bag as a snack.

These new cereals will begin arriving at grocery retailers in the fourth quarter of this year.  For more information on Kellogg Company brands and foods, visit www.kelloggs.com.
