In a significant industry move, Ferrero has announced its plan to acquire cereal powerhouse WK Kellogg in a deal valued at $3.1 billion.

The acquisition will see Ferrero paying $23 per Kellogg share, encompassing the entire Kellogg breakfast cereal portfolio across North America and the Caribbean.
