Eggo Cereal

Eggo Cereal is a multigrain breakfast cereal introduced in 2006 and reintroduced in 2019. It is manufactured by WK Kellogg Co, a spin-out of Kellogg's. It resembles Eggo waffles, a brand of frozen waffles produced by Kellanova and shares much of the same branding.

History

In 2006, Kellogg's officially released Eggo Cereal. It came in two flavors: Maple Syrup and Cinnamon Toast. The cereal was discontinued in 2012.
In August 2019, the official Twitter page for Eggo posted a message on National Waffle Day saying that if their post got 10,000 retweets, they would officially bring the product back. By 6 September, the goal was reached, and in November Kellogg's brought back the Eggo cereal on the shelves of Walmart, with other local stores following in December. The new version came out with three flavors: Homestyle, Blueberry, and Chocolate. As of 2021, the Blueberry flavor has been discontinued.
