Accounting Policies

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 adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed balance sheet information at January 1, 2022 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 quarter ended April 2, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year. Accounts payable The Company has agreements with third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitate 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 is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, and the agreements facilitate the suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. The Company has 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 the arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers. The payment of these obligations by the Company is included in cash used in operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of April 2, 2022, $949 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system. As of January 1, 2022, $905 million of the Company’s outstanding payment obligations had been placed in the accounts payable tracking system.

Sale of Accounts Receivable

Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets [Abstract]
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets [Text Block]	Sale of accounts receivable The Company has a program in which a discrete group of customers are allowed to extend their payment terms in exchange for the elimination of early payment discounts (Extended Terms Program). The Company has two Receivable Sales Agreements (Monetization Programs) described below, which are intended to directly offset the impact the Extended Terms Program would have on the days-sales-outstanding (DSO) metric that is critical to the effective management of the Company's accounts receivable balance and overall working capital. The Monetization Programs sell, on a revolving basis, certain trade accounts receivable invoices to third party financial institutions. Transfers under these agreements are accounted for as sales of receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Monetization Programs provide for the continuing sale of certain receivables on a revolving basis until terminated by either party; however the maximum receivables that may be sold at any time is approximately $1.1 billion. The Company has no retained interest 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, 2022 and January 1, 2022 for these agreements as the fair value of these servicing arrangements as well as the fees earned were not material to the financial statements. Accounts receivable sold of $468 million and $549 million remained outstanding under these arrangements as of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included in cash from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of sale. The recorded net loss on sale of receivables was $2 million for both the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021. The recorded loss is included in Other income and expense, net (OIE).

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net income 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, restricted stock units, and certain contingently issuable performance shares. There were 8 million and 12 million anti-dilutive potential common shares excluded from the calculation for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021, respectively. Please refer to the Consolidated Statement of Income for basic and diluted earnings per share for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021. Share repurchases In February 2020, the board of directors approved a new authorization to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of our common stock through December 2022. During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company repurchased approxima tely 5 million shares of common stock for a total of $300 million. D uring the quarter ended April 3, 2021, the Company repurchased approximately 4 million shares of common stock for a total of $240 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, adjustments for net experience losses and prior service cost related to employee benefit plans, and adjustments for unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, net of related tax effects.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Employee Benefits	Employee benefits The Company sponsors a number of U.S. and foreign pension plans as well as other nonpension postretirement and postemployment plans to provide various benefits for its employees. These plans are described within the footnotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Components of Company benefit plan (income) expense for the periods presented are included in the tables below. Excluding the service cost component, these amounts are included within Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

For the quarter ended April 3, 2021, the Company recognized a gain of $9 million related to the remeasurement of a U.S. pension plan. These remeasurements were the result of distributions that exceeded service and interest costs resulting in settlement accounting for that particul ar plan. The remeasurements recognized were due primarily to changes in the discount rate relative to the previous measurements. Company contributions to employee benefit plans are summarized as follows: (millions) Pension Nonpension postretirement Total Quarter ended: April 2, 2022 $ 1 $ 6 $ 7 April 3, 2021 $ 1 $ 1 $ 2 Full year: Fiscal year 2022 (projected) $ 3 $ 17 $ 20 Fiscal year 2021 (actual) $ 4 $ 16 $ 20 Plan funding strategies may be modified in response to management's evaluation of tax deductibility, market conditions, and competing investment alternatives.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income taxes The consolidated effective tax rate for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 w as 21% and 23%, respectively. As of April 2, 2022, the Company classifie d $14 million of unrecognized tax benefits as a net current tax liability. Management's estimate of reasonably possible changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months consists of the current liability expected to be settled within one year, offset by appr oximately $3 million o f 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. The Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of April 2, 2022 was $48 million . Of this balance, $41 million represents the amount that, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective income tax rate in future periods. The accrual balance for tax-related interest was approximately $8 million

Derivative Instruments and Fair

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended

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 and nonderivative financial instruments 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 and nonderivative hedging instruments 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. Derivative instruments are classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the contractual maturity of the instrument or the timing of the underlying cash flows of the instrument for derivatives with contractual maturities beyond one year. Any collateral associated with derivative instruments is classified as other assets or other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet depending on whether the counterparty collateral is in an asset or liability position. Margin deposits related to exchange-traded commodities are recorded in accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with derivative instruments are classified according to the nature of the underlying hedged item. Cash flows associated with collateral and margin deposits on exchange-traded commodities are classified as investing cash flows when the collateral account is in an asset position and as financing cash flows when the collateral account is in a liability position. Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022 were as follows: (millions) April 2, January 1, Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 3,095 $ 2,828 Cross-currency contracts 1,744 1,343 Interest rate contracts 2,789 2,816 Commodity contracts 427 360 Total $ 8,055 $ 7,347 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, 2022 and January 1, 2022, 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, cross-currency 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. Cross-currency contracts are valued based on changes in the spot rate at the time of valuation compared to the spot rate at the time of execution, as well as the change in the interest differential between the two currencies. 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, 2022 or January 1, 2022. 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, 2022 and January 1, 2022: Derivatives designated as hedging instruments April 2, 2022 January 1, 2022 (millions) Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Cross-currency contracts: Other current assets $ — $ 39 $ 39 $ — $ 32 $ 32 Other assets — 22 22 — 15 15 Interest rate contracts(a): Other current assets — 3 3 — 10 10 Other assets — 6 6 — 8 8 Total assets $ — $ 70 $ 70 $ — $ 65 $ 65 Liabilities: Cross-currency contracts: Other current liabilities $ — $ — $ — $ — $ (2) $ (2) Other liabilities — (27) (27) — (7) (7) Interest rate contracts: Other current liabilities — (1) (1) — (1) (1) Other liabilities — (40) (40) — (4) (4) Total liabilities $ — $ (68) $ (68) $ — $ (14) $ (14) (a) The fair value of the related hedged portion of the Company's long-term debt, a level 2 liability, was $1.1 billion as of April 2, 2022 and $1.2 billion as of January 1, 2022. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments April 2, 2022 January 1, 2022 (millions) Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Other current assets $ — $ 43 $ 43 $ — $ 18 $ 18 Other assets — 3 3 — 5 5 Interest rate contracts: Other current assets — 2 2 — 4 4 Other assets — 5 5 — — — Commodity contracts: Other current assets 6 — 6 5 — 5 Total assets $ 6 $ 53 $ 59 $ 5 $ 27 $ 32 Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts: Other current liabilities $ — $ (60) $ (60) $ — $ (20) $ (20) Other liabilities — (4) (4) — (6) (6) Interest rate contracts: Other current liabilities — (4) (4) — (6) (6) Other liabilities — (11) (11) — (7) (7) Commodity contracts: Other current liabilities (7) — (7) (6) — (6) Total liabilities $ (7) $ (79) $ (86) $ (6) $ (39) $ (45) The Company has designated its outstanding foreign currency denominated 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, including current and long-term, was approximately $2.3 billion as of April 2, 2022 and $2.4 billion as of January 1, 2022. The following amounts were recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet related to cumulative basis adjustments for existing fair value hedges as of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022. (millions) Line Item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in which the hedged item is included Carrying amount of the hedged liabilities Cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustment included in the carrying amount of the hedged liabilities (a) April 2, January 1, April 2, January 1, Interest rate contracts Current maturities of long-term debt $ 208 $ — $ (3) $ — Interest rate contracts Long-term debt $ 2,616 $ 2,903 $ (26) $ 12 (a) The fair value adjustment related to current maturities of long-term debt includes ($3) million from discontinued hedging relationships as of April 2, 2022. The fair value adjustment related to long-term debt includes $15 million and $13 million from discontinued hedging relationships as of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022, respectively. The Company has elected to not 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, 2022 and January 1, 2022 would be adjusted as detailed in the following table: As of April 2, 2022: Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Amounts Financial Cash Collateral Net Total asset derivatives $ 129 $ (106) $ — $ 23 Total liability derivatives $ (154) $ 106 $ 37 $ (11) As of January 1, 2022: Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Amounts Financial Cash Collateral Net Total asset derivatives $ 97 $ (47) $ 8 $ 58 Total liability derivatives $ (59) $ 47 $ 12 $ — During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company settled certain interest rate contracts resulting in a net gain of approximately $82 million. These derivatives were accounted for as cash flow hedges and the related net gains were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the related forecasted fixed rate debt, once issued. Additionally during the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company settled certain cross currency swaps resulting in a net gain of $37 million. T hese cross currency swaps were accounted for as net investment hedges and the related net gain was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The effect of derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021 was as follows: Derivatives and non-derivatives in net investment hedging relationships (millions) Gain (loss) Gain (loss) excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness Location of gain (loss) in income of excluded component April 2, April 3, April 2, April 3, Foreign currency denominated long-term debt $ 68 $ 103 $ — $ — Cross-currency contracts 33 27 6 5 Interest expense Total $ 101 $ 130 $ 6 $ 5 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments (millions) Location of gain Gain (loss) April 2, April 3, Foreign currency exchange contracts COGS $ (12) $ (17) Foreign currency exchange contracts Other income (expense), net (2) (1) Foreign currency exchange contracts SG&A 1 4 Interest rate contracts Interest expense 1 1 Commodity contracts COGS 112 12 Total $ 100 $ (1) The effect of fair value and cash flow hedge accounting on the Consolidated Income Statement for the quarters ended April 2, 2022 and April 3, 2021: April 2, 2022 April 3, 2021 (millions) Interest Expense Interest Expense Total amounts of income and expense line items presented in the Consolidated Income Statement in which the effects of fair value or cash flow hedges are recorded $ 56 $ 59 Gain (loss) on fair value hedging relationships: Interest contracts: Hedged items 41 6 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments (40) (7) Gain (loss) on cash flow hedging relationships: Interest contracts: Amount of gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into income (4) (5) During the next 12 months, the Company expects $17 million of net deferred losses reported in AOCI at April 2, 2022 to be reclassified to income, assuming market rates remain constant through contract maturities. 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, 2022 was not material. 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, 2022 triggered by credit-risk-related contingent features. Other fair value measurements Available for sale securities April 2, 2022 January 1, 2022 Unrealized Unrealized (millions) Cost Gain (Loss) Market Value Cost Gain (Loss) Market Value Corporate bonds $ 52 $ (3) $ 49 $ 52 $ — $ 52 During the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company sold level 2 corporate bonds for approximately $1 million resulting in an immaterial gain recorded in Other income and (expense). Also during the quarter ended April 2, 2022, the Company purchased approximately $2 million in level 2 corporate bonds. The market values of the Company's investments in level 2 corporate bonds are based on matrices or models from pricing vendors. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Additionally, these investments are recorded within Other current assets and Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, based on the maturity of the individual security. The maturity dates of the securities range from 2022 to 2036. The Company reviews its investment portfolio for any unrealized losses that would be deemed other-than-temporary and requires the recognition of an impairment loss in earnings. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company evaluates, among other factors, general market conditions, the duration and extent to which the fair value is less than its cost, the Company's intent to hold the investment, and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of the cost basis. The Company also considers the type of security, related industry and sector performance, and published investment ratings. Once a decline in fair value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If conditions within individual markets, industry segments, or macro-economic environments deteriorate, the Company could incur future impairments. Equity investments We hold equity investments in certain companies that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence. Equity investments without a readily determinable fair value are recorded at original cost. Investments with a readily determinable fair value, which are level 2 investments, are measured at fair value based on observable market price changes, with gains and losses recorded through net earnings. Equity investments were approximately $40 million as of April 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022. Additionally, these investments were recorded within Other noncurrent assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Financial instruments The carrying values of the Company’s short-term items, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable and current maturities of long-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which are level 2 liabilities, is calculated based on broker quotes. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $6.2 billion and $6.0 billion, respectively, as of April 2, 2022. The fair value and carrying value of the Company's long-term debt was $6.9 billion and $6.3 billion, respectively, as of January 1, 2022. 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, 2022, 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, 2022, the Company posted $37 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.

Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The unaudited interim financial information of Kellogg Company (the Company) included in this report reflects all adjustments, all of which are of a normal and recurring nature, 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The condensed balance sheet information at January 1, 2022 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 quarter ended April 2, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
Accounts payable	Accounts payableThe Company has agreements with third parties to provide accounts payable tracking systems which facilitate 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 is to capture overall supplier savings, in the form of payment terms or vendor funding, and the agreements facilitate the suppliers’ ability to sell payment obligations, while providing them with greater working capital flexibility. The Company has 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 the arrangements. However, the Company’s right to offset balances due from suppliers against payment obligations is restricted by the agreements for those payment obligations that have been sold by suppliers.
