Reportable Segments Reportable segments
Kellogg Company is the world’s leading producer of cereal, second largest producer of crackers, and a leading producer of savory snacks and frozen foods. Additional product offerings include toaster pastries, cereal bars, veggie foods and noodles. Kellogg products are manufactured and marketed globally. Principal markets for these products include the United States, United Kingdom, and Nigeria.
The Company manages its operations through four operating segments that are based on geographic location – North America which includes U.S. businesses and Canada; Europe which consists principally of European countries; Latin America which consists of Central and South America and includes Mexico; and AMEA (Asia Middle East Africa) which consists of Africa, Middle East, Australia and other Asian and Pacific markets. These operating segments also represent our reportable segments.
On July 28, 2019, the Company completed its sale of selected cookies, fruit and fruit-flavored snacks, pie crusts, and ice cream cones businesses to Ferrero for approximately $1.3 billion in cash.  Both the total assets and net assets, consisting primarily of goodwill and intangibles, property, plant and equipment, and inventory, of the businesses were approximately $1.3 billion. The operating results for these businesses were primarily included in the North America reportable segment prior to the sale. Reported net sales for the divested businesses totaled $55 million and $562 million for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended September 28, 2019, respectively.
The measurement of reportable segment results is based on segment operating profit which is generally consistent with the presentation of operating profit in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Reportable segment results were as follows:

* The year-to-date snacks and cereal net sales reflect the correction of an error in the Company’s first quarter 2020 disclosure. First quarter net
sales for snacks was understated $229 million and net sales for cereal was overstated $229 million within the disclosure included in our
previously issued first quarter financial statements. The revisions, which did not impact consolidated net sales, are not considered material to the
first, second or third quarter 2020 financial statements.
