Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	Accounting policies Basis of presentation The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all normal recurring adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed balance sheet information at January 2, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended April 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Accounts payable The Company has an agreement with a third party to provide an accounts payable tracking system which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal in entering into this agreement is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under this arrangement. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. As of April 2, 2016 , $566 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $392 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. As of January 2, 2016 , $501 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system, and participating suppliers had sold $407 million of those payment obligations to participating financial institutions. New accounting standards Improvements to employee share-based payment accounting. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2016. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The main provisions of the ASU are as follows: • Excess tax benefits and deficiencies for share-based payments are recorded as an adjustment of income taxes and reflected in operating cash flows after adoption of this ASU. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies were previously recorded in equity and as financing cash flows prior to adoption of this ASU. The Company adopted this provision prospectively and recorded $12 million of excess tax benefits for the first quarter of 2016, which is reported as operating cash flows on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. Please see Note 10 for additional information on the adoption of this provision. • The guidance allows the employer to withhold up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions without triggering liability accounting. The Company's accounting treatment of outstanding equity awards was not impacted by its adoption of this provision of the ASU. • The guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The Company is not making this election, and will continue to account for forfeitures on an estimated basis. Balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities should apply the new guidance either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016, on a prospective basis. The year-end 2015 balances for current deferred tax assets and current deferred liabilities was $227 million and $9 million , respectively. Prior period balances have not been adjusted. Simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption was permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements. Simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. In September 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments for items in a business combination. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the ASU with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements. Customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance either; 1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or 2) retrospectively. The Company adopted the updated standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements. Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which will require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The distinction between finance leases and operating leases will remain, with similar classification criteria as current GAAP to distinguish between capital and operating leases. The principal difference from current guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current GAAP. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as timing of implementation. Recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued or that have not yet been made available for issuance. Entities should apply the update by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements. Revenue from contracts with customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which provides guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity would be required to apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. When the ASU was originally issued it was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The updated standard will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities will be permitted to adopt the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date. Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant changes. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether it will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption.

Receivables [Abstract]
Financing Receivables [Text Block]	Sale of accounts receivable During the quarter ended April 2, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Receivable Sales Agreement”), to sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable balances to a third party financial institution. Transfers under this agreement are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Receivable Sales Agreement provides for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum funding from receivables that may be sold at any time is currently $350 million . During the quarter ended April 2, 2016, $53 million of accounts receivable was sold via this arrangement and the Company recorded cash proceeds of the same amount and paid a fee of less than one percent . Cash flows related to the sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The recorded net loss on sale of receivables is included in other income and expense and is not material. The Company has no retained interests in the receivables sold, however the Company does have collection and administrative responsibilities for the sold receivables. The Company has not recorded any servicing assets or liabilities as of April 2, 2016 for this agreement as the fair value of these servicing arrangements as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures Disclosure [Text Block]	Investments in unconsolidated entities In September 2015, the Company acquired, for $445 million , a 50% interest in Multipro Singapore Pte. Ltd. (Multipro), a leading distributor of a variety of food products in Nigeria and Ghana and also obtained an option to acquire 24.5% of an affiliated food manufacturing entity under common ownership based on a fixed multiple of future earnings as defined in the agreement (Purchase Option). The amount paid is subject to purchase price adjustments, including the finalization of Multipro’s 2015 earnings as defined in the agreement. The acquisition of the 50% interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Purchase Option, which was recorded at cost and will be monitored for impairment through the exercise period, which is upon the earlier of the entity achieving a minimum level of earnings as defined in the agreement, in which case the Company has a one year exercise period, or 2020. The difference between the amount paid for Multipro and the underlying equity in net assets is primarily attributable to intangible assets, a portion of which will be amortized in future periods, and goodwill.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Cost Reduction Activities	Restructuring and cost reduction activities The Company views its continued spending on restructuring and cost reduction activities as part of its ongoing operating principles to provide greater visibility in achieving its long-term profit growth targets. Initiatives undertaken are currently expected to recover cash implementation costs within a five -year period of completion. Upon completion (or as each major stage is completed in the case of multi-year programs), the project begins to deliver cash savings and/or reduced depreciation. Project K Project K, a four -year efficiency and effectiveness program, was announced in November 2013, and is expected to continue generating a significant amount of savings that may be invested in key strategic areas of focus for the business. The Company expects that this investment will drive future growth in revenues, gross margin, operating profit, and cash flow. The focus of the program is to strengthen existing businesses in core markets, increase growth in developing and emerging markets, and drive an increased level of value-added innovation. The program is expected to continue to provide a number of benefits, including an optimized supply chain infrastructure, the implementation of global business services, and a new global focus on categories. The Company currently anticipates that Project K will result in total pre-tax charges, once all phases are approved and implemented, of $1.2 to $1.4 billion , with after-tax cash costs, including incremental capital investments, estimated to be $900 million to $1.1 billion . Based on current estimates and actual charges to date, the Company expects the total project charges will consist of asset-related costs totaling $400 to $450 million which will consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other exit-related costs; employee-related costs totaling $400 to $450 million which will include severance, pension and other termination benefits; and other costs totaling $400 to $500 million which will consist primarily of charges related to the design and implementation of global business capabilities. A significant portion of other costs are the result of the implementation of global business service centers which are intended to simplify and standardize business support processes. The Company currently expects that total pre-tax charges will impact reportable segments as follows: U.S. Morning Foods (approximately 18% ), U.S. Snacks (approximately 13% ), U.S. Specialty (approximately 1% ), North America Other (approximately 10% ), Europe (approximately 17% ), Latin America (approximately 2% ), Asia-Pacific (approximately 6% ), and Corporate (approximately 33% ). Certain costs impacting Corporate relate to additional initiatives to be approved and executed in the future. When these initiatives are fully defined and approved, the Company will update its estimated costs by reportable segment as needed. Since the inception of Project K, the Company has recognized charges of $862 million that have been attributed to the program. The charges consist of $6 million recorded as a reduction of revenue, $535 million recorded in COGS and $321 million recorded in SGA. Other Projects In 2015 the Company initiated the implementation of a zero-based budgeting (ZBB) program in its North America business that is expected to deliver visibility to ongoing annual savings. During 2016 ZBB was expanded to include the international segments of the business. In support of the ZBB initiative, the Company incurred pre-tax charges of approximately $7 million during the quarter ended April 2, 2016. Total charges of $19 million have been recognized since the inception of the ZBB program. Total Projects During the quarter ended April 2, 2016 , the Company recorded total charges of $52 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $18 million recorded in cost of goods sold (COGS) and $34 million recorded in selling, general and administrative (SGA) expense. During the quarter ended April 4, 2015 , the Company recorded total charges of $68 million across all restructuring and cost reduction activities. The charges were comprised of $2 million being recorded as a reduction of revenue, $32 million recorded in COGS and $34 million recorded in SGA expense. The tables below provide the details for charges across all restructuring and cost reduction activities incurred during the quarter and year-to-date periods ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 and program costs to date for programs currently active as of April 2, 2016 .

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income attributable to Kellogg Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is similarly determined, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Dilutive potential common shares consist principally of employee stock options issued by the Company, and to a lesser extent, certain contingently issuable performance shares. Basic earnings per share is reconciled to diluted earnings per share in the following table. There were 2 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the reconciliation for the quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 . Quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 : (millions, except per share data) Net income attributable to Kellogg Company Average shares outstanding Earnings per share 2016 Basic $ 175 351 $ 0.50 Dilutive potential common shares 4 (0.01 ) Diluted $ 175 355 $ 0.49 2015 Basic $ 227 355 $ 0.64 Dilutive potential common shares 2 — Diluted $ 227 357 $ 0.64 In February 2014, the Company's board of directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of our common stock through December 2015. In December 2015, the board of directors approved a new authorization to repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of our common stock beginning in 2016 through December 2017. During the quarter ended April 2, 2016 , the Company repurchased approximately 3 million shares of common stock for a total of $210 million , of which $198 million was paid and $12 million payable at quarter-end. During the quarter ended April 4, 2015 , the Company repurchased 4 million shares of common stock for a total of $285 million . Comprehensive income Comprehensive income includes net income and all other changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by or distributions to shareholders. Other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments, fair value adjustments associated with cash flow hedges and adjustments for net experience losses and prior service cost related to employee benefit plans. Reclassifications out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (AOCI) for the quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 consisted of the following: (millions) Details about AOCI components Amount reclassified from AOCI Line item impacted within Income Statement Quarter ended April 2, 2016 Quarter ended April 4, 2015 (Gains) losses on cash flow hedges: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ (7 ) $ (7 ) COGS Foreign currency exchange contracts — — SGA Interest rate contracts 6 — Interest expense Commodity contracts 3 3 COGS $ 2 $ (4 ) Total before tax (1 ) — Tax (expense) benefit $ 1 $ (4 ) Net of tax Amortization of postretirement and postemployment benefits: Net experience loss $ 1 $ 1 See Note 9 for further details Prior service cost — 3 See Note 9 for further details $ 1 $ 4 Total before tax — (1 ) Tax (expense) benefit $ 1 $ 3 Net of tax Total reclassifications $ 2 $ (1 ) Net of tax Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016 consisted of the following: (millions) April 2, January 2, 2016 Foreign currency translation adjustments $ (1,340 ) $ (1,314 ) Cash flow hedges — unrealized net gain (loss) (72 ) (39 ) Postretirement and postemployment benefits: Net experience loss (15 ) (16 ) Prior service cost (7 ) (7 ) Total accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) $ (1,434 ) $ (1,376 ) Noncontrolling interests In December 2012, the Company entered into a series of agreements with a third party including a subordinated loan (VIE Loan) of $44 million which is convertible into approximately 85% of the equity of the entity (VIE). Due to this convertible subordinated loan and other agreements, the Company determined that the entity was a variable interest entity, the Company is the primary beneficiary and the Company has consolidated the financial statements of the VIE. The results of the VIE’s operations are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarter ended April 4, 2015. During the quarter ended April 4, 2015, the Company determined that certain assets related to the VIE may not be fully recoverable and recorded a non-cash charge of $25 million , which was recorded as other income (expense), net. During the quarter ended July 4, 2015, the 2012 Agreements were terminated and the VIE loan, including related accrued interest and other receivables, were settled. This resulted in the Company no longer being considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and accordingly, the VIE was deconsolidated as of July 4, 2015.

In March 2016, the Company redeemed $475 million of its 7.45% U.S. Dollar Debentures due 2031. In connection with the debt redemption, the Company incurred $153 million of interest expense, consisting primarily of a premium on the tender offer and also including accelerated losses on pre-issuance interest rate hedges, acceleration of fees and debt discount on the redeemed debt and fees related to the tender offer. In March 2016, the Company issued $750 million of ten -year 3.25% U.S. Dollar Notes and $650 million of thirty -year 4.5% U.S. Dollar Notes, resulting in aggregate net proceeds after debt discount of $1.382 billion . The proceeds from these Notes were used for general corporate purposes, which included repayment of a portion of the Company’s 7.45% U.S. Dollar Debentures due 2031 and a portion of its commercial paper borrowings. The Notes contain customary covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries (as defined) to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions, as well as a change of control provision. The effective interest rates on debt obligations resulting from the Company’s previous interest rate swaps as of April 2, 2016 were as follows: (a) seven-year 4.45% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2016 – 4.45% ; (b) five-year 1.875% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2016 – 1.81% ; (c) five-year 1.75% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2017 – 1.71% ; (d) seven-year 3.25% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2018 – 2.52% ; (e) ten-year 4.15% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2019 – 3.52% ; (f) ten-year 4.00% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2020 – 2.98% ; (g) ten-year 3.125% U.S. Dollar Notes due 2022 – 2.69% .

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract]
Stock Compensation	Stock compensation The Company uses various equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for its global workforce. Currently, these incentives consist principally of stock options, restricted stock units, and to a lesser extent, executive performance shares and restricted stock grants. The Company also sponsors a discounted stock purchase plan in the United States and matching-grant programs in several international locations. Additionally, the Company awards restricted stock to its outside directors. The interim information below should be read in conjunction with the disclosures included within the stock compensation footnote of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company classifies pre-tax stock compensation expense in SGA expense principally within its corporate operations. For the periods presented, compensation expense for all types of equity-based programs and the related income tax benefit recognized was as follows: Quarter ended (millions) April 2, 2016 April 4, 2015 Pre-tax compensation expense $ 16 $ 12 Related income tax benefit $ 6 $ 4 As of April 2, 2016 , total stock-based compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $133 million and the weighted-average period over which this amount is expected to be recognized was 2 years . Stock options During the quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 , the Company granted non-qualified stock options to eligible employees as presented in the following activity tables. Terms of these grants and the Company’s methods for determining grant-date fair value of the awards were consistent with that described within the stock compensation footnote in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Quarter ended April 2, 2016 : Employee and director stock options Shares (millions) Weighted- average exercise price Weighted- average remaining contractual term (yrs.) Aggregate intrinsic value (millions) Outstanding, beginning of period 19 $ 58 Granted 3 76 Exercised (3 ) 55 Forfeitures and expirations — — Outstanding, end of period 19 $ 61 7.4 $ 306 Exercisable, end of period 12 $ 57 6.4 $ 242 Quarter ended April 4, 2015 : Employee and director stock options Shares (millions) Weighted- average exercise price Weighted- average remaining contractual term (yrs.)

The fair value was estimated using the following assumptions: Weighted- average expected volatility Weighted- average expected term (years) Weighted- average risk-free interest rate Dividend yield Grants within the quarter ended April 2, 2016: 17 % 6.9 1.60 % 2.60 % Grants within the quarter ended April 4, 2015: 16 % 6.9 1.98 % 3.00 % The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $50 million and $17 million for the quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 , respectively. Performance shares In the first quarter of 2016, the Company granted performance shares to a limited number of senior executive-level employees, which entitle these employees to receive a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon vesting. The number of shares earned could range between 0 and 200% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the three year vesting period. The performance conditions of the award include three -year currency-neutral comparable operating profit growth and total shareholder return (TSR) of the Company’s common stock relative to a select group of peer companies. A Monte Carlo valuation model was used to determine the fair value of the awards. The TSR performance metric is a market condition. Therefore, compensation cost of the TSR condition is fixed at the measurement date and is not revised based on actual performance. The TSR metric was valued as a multiplier of possible levels of comparable operating profit growth achievement. Compensation cost related to comparable operating profit growth performance is revised for changes in the expected outcome. The 2016 target grant currently corresponds to approximately 195,000 shares, with a grant-date fair value of $76 per share. Based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at April 2, 2016 , the maximum future value that could be awarded to employees on the vesting date for all outstanding performance share awards was as follows: (millions) April 2, 2016 2014 Award $ 31 2015 Award $ 27 2016 Award $ 30 The 2013 performance share award, payable in stock, was settled at 35% of target in February 2016 for a total dollar equivalent of $3 million . Other stock-based awards During the quarter ended April 2, 2016 , the Company granted restricted stock units and a nominal number of restricted stock awards to eligible employees as presented in the following table. Terms of these grants and the Company’s method of determining grant-date fair value were consistent with that described within the stock compensation footnote in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Quarter ended April 2, 2016 : Employee restricted stock and restricted stock units Shares(thousands) Weighted-average grant-date fair value Non-vested, beginning of year 806 $ 58 Granted 547 70 Vested (47 ) 55 Forfeited (15 ) 56 Non-vested, end of period 1,291 $ 63 Quarter ended April 4, 2015: Employee restricted stock and restricted stock units Shares(thousands) Weighted-average grant-date fair value Non-vested, beginning of year 346 $ 54 Granted 563 58 Vested (48 ) 51 Forfeited (2 ) 58 Non-vested, end of period 859 $ 57

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income taxes The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarter ended April 2, 2016 was 21% as compared to the prior year’s rate of 25% . The effective rate for the first quarter of 2016 benefited from excess tax benefits from share-based compensation as well as a benefit related to an audit closure. See Note 1 for further discussion regarding the ASU adoption. The effective tax rate for 2015 benefited from a reduction in tax related to current year remitted and unremitted earnings and the completion of certain tax examinations. As of April 2, 2016 , the Company classified $14 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current liability. Management’s estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months consists of the current liability balance expected to be settled within one year, offset by approximately $8 million of projected additions related primarily to ongoing intercompany transfer pricing activity. Management is currently unaware of any issues under review that could result in significant additional payments, accruals or other material deviation in this estimate. Following is a reconciliation of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits for the year-to-date period ended April 2, 2016 ; $48 million of this total represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods. (millions) January 2, 2016 $ 73 Tax positions related to current year: Additions 1 Reductions — Tax positions related to prior years: Additions — Reductions — Settlements — April 2, 2016 $ 74 For the quarter ended April 2, 2016 , the Company recognized an increase of $1 million for tax-related interest. During the quarter ended April 4, 2015, the Company recognized a decrease of $1 million for tax-related interest. The accrual balance was $18 million at April 2, 2016 .

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	Derivative instruments and fair value measurements The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative financial and commodity instruments, including futures, options, and swaps, where appropriate, to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. The Company designates derivatives as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges, net investment hedges, and uses other contracts to reduce volatility in interest rates, foreign currency and commodities. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions. Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016 were as follows: (millions) April 2, January 2, Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 1,628 $ 1,210 Interest rate contracts 683 — Commodity contracts 398 470 Total $ 2,709 $ 1,680 Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, measured on a recurring basis. Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of commodity derivative contracts. Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk. Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company did not have any level 3 financial assets or liabilities as of April 2, 2016 or January 2, 2016. The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments April 2, 2016 January 2, 2016 (millions) Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Other prepaid assets $ — $ 21 $ 21 $ — $ 11 $ 11 Total assets $ — $ 21 $ 21 $ — $ 11 $ 11 Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Other current liabilities $ — $ (33 ) $ (33 ) $ — $ (10 ) $ (10 ) Interest rate contracts: Other current liabilities — (8 ) (8 ) — — — Commodity contracts: Other current liabilities — (11 ) (11 ) — (14 ) (14 ) Total liabilities $ — $ (52 ) $ (52 ) $ — $ (24 ) $ (24 ) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments April 2, 2016 January 2, 2016 (millions) Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Other prepaid assets $ — $ 6 $ 6 $ — $ 18 $ 18 Commodity contracts: Other prepaid assets 10 — 10 4 — 4 Total assets $ 10 $ 6 $ 16 $ 4 $ 18 $ 22 Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Other current liabilities $ — $ (1 ) $ (1 ) $ — $ (6 ) $ (6 ) Commodity contracts: Other current liabilities (8 ) — (8 ) $ (33 ) $ — $ (33 ) Total liabilities $ (8 ) $ (1 ) $ (9 ) $ (33 ) $ (6 ) $ (39 ) The Company has designated a portion of its outstanding foreign currency denominated long-term debt as a net investment hedge of a portion of the Company’s investment in its subsidiaries’ foreign currency denominated net assets. The carrying value of this debt was approximately $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, respectively. The Company has elected not to offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if the Company were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table: As of April 2, 2016: Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received/ Posted Net Amount Total asset derivatives $ 37 $ (30 ) $ — $ 7 Total liability derivatives $ (61 ) $ 30 $ 13 $ (18 ) As of January 2, 2016: Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Financial Instruments Cash Collateral Received/ Posted Net Amount Total asset derivatives $ 33 $ (12 ) $ — $ 21 Total liability derivatives $ (63 ) $ 12 $ 51 $ — The effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015 was as follows: Derivatives in fair value hedging relationships (millions) Location of gain (loss) recognized in income Gain (loss) recognized in income (a) April 2, April 4, Foreign currency exchange contracts Other income (expense), net $ — $ (4 ) Interest rate contracts Interest expense 6 9 Total $ 6 $ 5 (a) Includes the ineffective portion and amount excluded from effectiveness testing.

Certain of the Company’s derivative instruments contain provisions requiring the Company to post collateral on those derivative instruments that are in a liability position if the Company’s credit rating is at or below BB+ (S&P), or Baa1 (Moody’s). The fair value of all derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features in a liability position on April 2, 2016 was $31 million . If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered as of April 2, 2016 , the Company would be required to post collateral of $31 million . In addition, certain derivative instruments contain provisions that would be triggered in the event the Company defaults on its debt agreements. There were no collateral posting requirements as of April 2, 2016 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features. Financial instruments The carrying values of the Company’s short-term items, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which are level 2 liabilities, is calculated based on broker quotes and was as follows at April 2, 2016 : (millions) Fair Value Carrying Value Current maturities of long-term debt $ 1,264 $ 1,264 Long-term debt 6,665 6,256 Total $ 7,929 $ 7,520 Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by counterparties on derivative financial and commodity contracts. Management believes a concentration of credit risk with respect to derivative counterparties is limited due to the credit ratings and use of master netting and reciprocal collateralization agreements with the counterparties and the use of exchange-traded commodity contracts. Master netting agreements apply in situations where the Company executes multiple contracts with the same counterparty. Certain counterparties represent a concentration of credit risk to the Company. If those counterparties fail to perform according to the terms of derivative contracts, this would result in a loss to the Company. As of April 2, 2016 , the Company was not in a significant net asset position with any counterparties with which a master netting agreement would apply. For certain derivative contracts, reciprocal collateralization agreements with counterparties call for the posting of collateral in the form of cash, treasury securities or letters of credit if a fair value loss position to the Company or its counterparties exceeds a certain amount. In addition, the Company is required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with its open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments executed with the counterparty that are subject to enforceable netting agreements. As of April 2, 2016 , the Company had no collateral posting requirements related to reciprocal collateralization agreements. As of April 2, 2016 the Company posted $13 million in margin deposits for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments, which was reflected as an increase in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Management believes concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the generally high credit quality of the Company’s major customers, as well as the large number and geographic dispersion of smaller customers. However, the Company conducts a disproportionate amount of business with a small number of large multinational grocery retailers, with the five largest accounts encompassing approximately 27% of consolidated trade receivables at April 2, 2016 .

Loss Contingency [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies In connection with the Company’s previous labor negotiations with the union representing the work-force at its Memphis, TN cereal production facility, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) filed a complaint alleging unfair labor practices under the National Labor Relations Act in March 2014. In July 2014, a U.S. District Court judge ruled that the Memphis employees were entitled to return to work while the underlying litigation continues and employees subsequently returned to work. In August 2014, an NLRB Administrative Law Judge dismissed the complaint that initiated the underlying litigation. In May 2015, the NLRB reversed the decision of the Administrative Law Judge in favor of the union. The Company is appealing this decision and the case continues. This litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the production or distribution of products from the Memphis, TN facility or a material financial impact on the Company. As of April 2, 2016 , the Company has not recorded a liability related to this matter as an adverse outcome is not considered probable. The Company will continue to evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes for this case as the litigation continues.

Venezuela

Foreign Currency [Abstract]
Venezuela	Venezuela Venezuela is considered a highly inflationary economy. As such, the functional currency for the Company's operations in Venezuela is the U.S. dollar, which in turn, requires bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities to be remeasured into U.S. dollars using an exchange rate at which such balances could be settled as of the balance sheet date. In addition, revenues and expenses are recorded in U.S. dollars at an appropriate rate on the date of the transaction. Gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of the bolivar denominated monetary assets and liabilities are recorded in earnings. From February 2013 through July 4, 2015, the Company used the CENCOEX, official rate, which was 6.3 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, to remeasure its Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements to U.S. dollars. The CENCOEX official rate was restricted toward goods and services for industry sectors considered essential, which are primarily food, medicines and a few others. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government announced the addition of a new foreign currency exchange system referred to as the Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI. During 2015, the Company experienced an increase in the amount of time it takes to exchange bolivars for U.S. dollars through the CENCOEX exchange. Due to this reduced availability of U.S. dollars and upon review of U.S. dollar cash needs in the Company's Venezuela operations as of the quarter ended July 4, 2015, the Company concluded that it was no longer able to obtain sufficient U.S. dollars on a timely basis through the CENCOEX exchange resulting in a decision to remeasure our Venezuela subsidiary's financial statements using the SIMADI rate. In February 2016, the Venezuelan government announced changes to its foreign currency exchange mechanisms, including a 59% devaluation of the CENCOEX (now named DIPRO) official rate from 6.3 bolivars to 10.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar. Additionally the SIMADI exchange rate was replaced by the DICOM exchange rate, a new floating exchange rate for non-essential imports. The DICOM exchange rate was introduced at 206 bolivars to the U.S. dollar and the Venezuelan government has reported that the DICOM exchange rate will be allowed to float to meet market needs. The Company has evaluated all of the facts and circumstances surrounding its Venezuelan business and determined that as of April 2, 2016, the DICOM (formerly SIMADI) rate continues to be the appropriate rate to use for remeasuring its Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements. As of April 2, 2016, the published DIPRO and DICOM rates offered were 10.0 and 276.2 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, respectively. For the quarters ended April 2, 2016 and April 4, 2015, Venezuela represented less than 1% and approximately 2% of total net sales, respectively. The Company’s net monetary assets denominated in the Venezuelan bolivar were immaterial after applying the DICOM and SIMADI exchange rates as of April 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, respectively. The Company continues to monitor and actively manage its investment and exposure in Venezuela. The Company’s Venezuelan business does not rely heavily on imports and when items are imported, they are largely exchanged at the DIPRO official rate; however, the Company considers it reasonably possible to utilize alternate exchange mechanisms in the future. The Company is continuing to take actions to further reduce its reliance on imports in order to run its operations without the need for U.S. dollars, including the elimination of imported ingredients where possible and developing a local supply for parts and materials. Less than 2% of the total raw material needs of the Company's Venezuela operations are imported. The Company will continue to monitor local conditions and its ability to obtain U.S. dollars through the various exchange mechanisms available to determine the appropriate rate for remeasurement.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Reportable Segments	Reportable segments Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of cookies and crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, fruit-flavored snacks and veggie foods. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. Principal markets for these products include the United States and United Kingdom. The Company manages its operations through nine operating segments that are based on product category or geographic location. These operating segments are evaluated for similarity with regards to economic characteristics, products, production processes, types or classes of customers, distribution methods and regulatory environments to determine if they can be aggregated into reportable segments. The reportable segments are discussed in greater detail below. The U.S. Morning Foods operating segment includes cereal, toaster pastries, health and wellness bars, and beverages. U.S. Snacks includes cookies, crackers, cereal bars, savory snacks and fruit-flavored snacks. U.S. Specialty primarily represents food away from home channels, including food service, convenience, vending, Girl Scouts and food manufacturing. The food service business is mostly non-commercial, serving institutions such as schools and hospitals. The convenience business includes traditional convenience stores as well as alternate retail outlets. North America Other includes the U.S. Frozen, Kashi and Canada operating segments. As these operating segments are not considered economically similar enough to aggregate with other operating segments and are immaterial for separate disclosure, they have been grouped together as a single reportable segment. The three remaining reportable segments are based on geographic location – Europe which consists principally of European countries; Latin America which consists of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and Asia Pacific which consists of Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets. The measurement of reportable segment results is based on segment operating profit which is generally consistent with the presentation of operating profit in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Intercompany transactions between operating segments were insignificant in all periods presented.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation	The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all normal recurring adjustments that management believes are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, comprehensive income, financial position, equity and cash flows for the periods presented. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying footnotes within the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed balance sheet information at January 2, 2016 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the quarterly period ended April 2, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
Accounts payable	The Company has an agreement with a third party to provide an accounts payable tracking system which facilitates participating suppliers’ ability to monitor and, if elected, sell payment obligations from the Company to designated third-party financial institutions. Participating suppliers may, at their sole discretion, make offers to sell one or more payment obligations of the Company prior to their scheduled due dates at a discounted price to participating financial institutions. The Company’s goal in entering into this agreement is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, created by facilitating suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. We have no economic interest in the sale of these suppliers’ receivables and no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions concerning these services. The Company’s obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by suppliers’ decisions to sell amounts under this arrangement. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by this agreement for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers.
New accounting standards to be adopted in future periods	Improvements to employee share-based payment accounting. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU) as part of its simplification initiative. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the accounting standard update in the first quarter of 2016. The ASU includes multiple provisions intended to simplify various aspects of the accounting for share-based payments. The main provisions of the ASU are as follows: • Excess tax benefits and deficiencies for share-based payments are recorded as an adjustment of income taxes and reflected in operating cash flows after adoption of this ASU. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies were previously recorded in equity and as financing cash flows prior to adoption of this ASU. The Company adopted this provision prospectively and recorded $12 million of excess tax benefits for the first quarter of 2016, which is reported as operating cash flows on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. Please see Note 10 for additional information on the adoption of this provision. • The guidance allows the employer to withhold up to the maximum statutory tax rates in the applicable jurisdictions without triggering liability accounting. The Company's accounting treatment of outstanding equity awards was not impacted by its adoption of this provision of the ASU. • The guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The Company is not making this election, and will continue to account for forfeitures on an estimated basis. Balance sheet classification of deferred taxes. In November 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The ASU requires that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016. Entities should apply the new guidance either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016, on a prospective basis. The year-end 2015 balances for current deferred tax assets and current deferred liabilities was $227 million and $9 million , respectively. Prior period balances have not been adjusted. Simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption was permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements. Simplifying the accounting for measurement-period adjustments. In September 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments for items in a business combination. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Entities should apply the new guidance prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of the ASU with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. The Company adopted the updated standard in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements. Customer's accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities should apply the new guidance either; 1) prospectively to all arrangements entered into or materially modified after the effective date or 2) retrospectively. The Company adopted the updated standard prospectively in the first quarter of 2016 with no significant impact on its financial statements. Accounting standards to be adopted in future periods Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which will require the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The distinction between finance leases and operating leases will remain, with similar classification criteria as current GAAP to distinguish between capital and operating leases. The principal difference from current guidance is that the lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases will be recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current GAAP. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as timing of implementation. Recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU which primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption can be elected for all financial statements of fiscal years and interim periods that have not yet been issued or that have not yet been made available for issuance. Entities should apply the update by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on its financial statements. Revenue from contracts with customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which provides guidance for accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity would be required to apply the following five steps: 1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. When the ASU was originally issued it was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption was not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The updated standard will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities will be permitted to adopt the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date. Entities will have the option to apply the final standard retrospectively or use a modified retrospective method, recognizing the cumulative effect of the ASU in retained earnings at the date of initial application. An entity will not restate prior periods if it uses the modified retrospective method, but will be required to disclose the amount by which each financial statement line item is affected in the current reporting period by the application of the ASU as compared to the guidance in effect prior to the change, as well as reasons for significant changes. The Company will adopt the updated standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that implementing this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as whether it will use the retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption.
