Innovative new products meet consumer needs for health & wellness, convenience and great taste

BATTLE CREEK, Mich., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- With plans for a $40 million addition underway to its W.K. Kellogg Institute for Food and Nutrition Research (WKKI) in Battle Creek, Mich., and a host of new products hitting store shelves, Kellogg Company continues its focus on innovation. Since WKKI opened in 1997, the company's net sales from innovation have almost doubled. In addition, the company's investment in research and development has increased significantly from $106.4 million in 2002 to $179.3 million in 2007.

"We're proud of our proven track record of delivering results from our innovations," said Dr. Donna Banks, senior vice president, global innovation. "In 2007, approximately 17 percent of net sales or almost $2 billion dollars were delivered through innovations launched in the last three years. We're very excited about the expansion of our WKKI facility and about our new product offerings launching this year."

................................

Have people been marching on Kellogs Corporate office..demanding better portability of their cookies?

Seems to me that as long as there have been cookie-baking Grandmas & kids or Moms & kids, people have somehow managed to transport their cookies...

But I guess there might be some people who lay awake nights worrying..not about global warming or foreclosure....

but of

how on earth they will manage to transport their cookies to school or work the next day..

Praise the lord..some ad-man making 6-figures has ridden to the rescue..with Take-Alongs...and kelloggs is happy to oblige..

We can all sleep soundly now that the garganutain problem of cookie transportation has finally been solved.
