Pop-Tarts (stylized as pop•tarts) is an American brand of toaster pastries produced and distributed by Kellanova (formerly Kellogg's) since 1964, consisting of a sweet filling sealed inside two layers of thin, rectangular pastry crust. Most varieties are also frosted. Although sold precooked, they are designed to be warmed inside a toaster or microwave oven. They are usually sold in pairs inside Mylar (previously foil) packages and do not require refrigeration.[1]
Pop-Tarts is Kellanova's most popular brand to date in the United States, with millions of units sold each year.[2] They are distributed mainly in the United States, but are also available in Canada and the United Kingdom.[3]
Pop-Tarts are produced in dozens of flavors, plus various one-time, seasonal, and "limited-edition" flavors that appear for a short time.[4]
