KELLANOVA (K), formerly WK Kellogg, is navigating a complex landscape of innovation and challenges. The company launched a co-branded Wendy's Frosty featuring Pop-Tarts, aiming to increase brand visibility and reach new consumers [1]. They are also leveraging AI and data-driven marketing strategies for brands like Pringles and Special K, leading to sales increases and enhanced consumer engagement [6], [8]. However, KELLANOVA faces investigations in Texas regarding "healthy" marketing claims for cereals containing artificial dyes and a data breach linked to Cleo file-transfer software [2], [3], [4]. While the company is innovating with new products like Rice Krispies Treats Bliss [5], the negative publicity from these investigations and the data breach pose significant reputational and financial risks. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation Trust, a major shareholder, has reduced its holdings through pre-planned stock sales [10], [11].
