About 450 workers are set to lose their jobs by mid-August as Kellogg's formally notified the state of the timeline for its Omaha plant's permanent closure.

WK Kellogg Co, based in Battle Creek, Michigan, filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification with the Nebraska Department of Labor on May 22, confirming a phased layoff that will eliminate 451 positions at the Omaha plant at 9601 F St.

The filing puts firm dates on the plant's permanent closure first announced in August 2024.

Initial layoffs are expected to begin in July, affecting about 100 workers, the company said. A second wave of about 350 employees will lose their jobs on or after the period from Aug. 4 to 18, after which the plant will permanently cease operations.

The Kellogg's plant at 9601 F St. in Omaha will close by the end of 2026
