"Boycotting mainstream American ideas is an act of discrimination and intense prejudice. If you serve Kellogg's products to your family, you are serving up bigotry at your breakfast table," Breitbart said in a statement on its site.
Kellogg's cereal brands include Corn Flakes, Special K and Coco Pops. It also has a range of snack products including Pop Tarts and Rice Krispies Squares.
Kellogg's is not the first company to pull advertising from the Breitbart site. Others have included US insurance firm Allstate and IT services provider Earthlink.
