May 21, 2019 from the OU in response to a question from a reader:

Kellogg's cereals with a "K" are certified as kosher by the OU.

Kellogg's Pop Tarts with a K are not certified as kosher by the OU.

The k on the pop tarts is not the usually k (kosher) symbol. Looks like part of the code. Ed note: See left picture.

The Orthodox Union is delighted to announce that the Kellogg Company has expanded their OU kosher certification to include their coveted Morning Foods products of Kellogg’s brand cereals and nutri-grain bar products. Included in this OU kosher certification are almost all Kellogg’s brand cereals and nutri-grain bar products whose packaging bear the "k" designation. Products with a plain “k” are certified OU pareve and products with a "kd” and “kde" are certified OU dairy and OU dairy equipment respectively. The only exception is Mini Shredded Wheat which is not OU kosher certified even when packaging bear a "k". Ed. note: see right picture.
