Kellogg's Pop-Tarts are an iconic American toaster pastry first introduced in 1964. The brand was originally created by the Kellogg Company in Battle Creek, Michigan, as a response to a competitor's similar concept. Over the decades, it has grown into a global snack powerhouse known for its thin pastry crust, sweet fillings, and characteristic frosting.

While Pop-Tarts were born in the United States, they are now produced in various locations worldwide to serve different regional markets. The 'Frosted Chocotastic' edition pictured is a staple in the United Kingdom and European markets, where it is often manufactured in Manchester, England, home to one of the largest cereal and snack factories in Europe. In North America, production remains centered in facilities across the United States and Canada.

In late 2023, the brand's history saw a significant change when the Kellogg Company split into two independent entities: WK Kellogg Co (focusing on North American cereals) and Kellanova (focusing on global snacking and international cereal). Pop-Tarts became a flagship brand under Kellanova. Subsequently, in late 2025, Mars, Incorporated completed a landmark acquisition of Kellanova, bringing Pop-Tarts under the ultimate ownership of the Mars family of brands, alongside other giants like Pringles and M&M's.
