Kellogg's Frosted Flakes

Product & origin

Kellogg's Frosted Flakes (originally introduced in the U.S. as Sugar Frosted Flakes in 1952) is a sweetened corn-flake breakfast cereal created by the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, Michigan. (en.wikipedia.org)

Manufacturing footprint

Frosted Flakes is produced and sold in many markets worldwide; production is handled regionally by the company that holds the cereal rights in that territory, so manufacturing occurs in multiple countries and at local Kellogg/WK Kellogg/Kellanova (and now Ferrero/Mars-owned) plants and co-manufacturers. This means the product is made in multiple countries rather than in a single country of manufacture. (en.wikipedia.org)

Brand ownership and corporate history

Historically Frosted Flakes was owned by the original Kellogg Company. Following a corporate split in October 2023, the North American cereal business became WK Kellogg Co while Kellanova (the rebranded successor to the Kellogg Company) retained international cereal and snacking rights; under that arrangement WK Kellogg Co owned/marketed Frosted Flakes in the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean, while Kellanova handled the rest of world. (en.wikipedia.org)

In 2025 Ferrero agreed to acquire WK Kellogg Co and the transaction closed in late September 2025, making the North American Frosted Flakes business part of the Ferrero Group (Ferrero International S.A.). Separately, Kellanova — which continued to own/market Frosted Flakes (Frosties/Zucaritas/Sucrilhos in other regions) outside North America — was itself acquired by Mars, Inc. in December 2025; as a result, ownership of the Frosted Flakes brand is territory-specific: Ferrero in North America and Mars (via Kellanova) in most other markets.
