William Keith

entrepreneur United States

William Keith was an influential figure in the development of breakfast cereals, best known for his role in the creation of the first breakfast cereal recipe alongside his brother, John Harvey Kellogg. Born on April 7, 1860, in Michigan, Keith was a devout member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which emphasized a healthy, vegetarian lifestyle. In 1894, the brothers developed the first wheat-based breakfast flakes at their Adventist health spa, a pioneering effort that set the stage for the cereal industry. Keith's vision to enhance the flavor of cereals with sugar and spices led to a rift with his brother, ultimately shaping the modern breakfast cereal market.
