When I was 18 years old, I was enjoying a family movie night when out of nowhere I was rushed to the hospital and told I now had a life-threatening peanut allergy. I began creating my own snacks and decided to share them with the world. Today we're in 1800 stores and we are one of the fastest-growing brands making delicious snacks free from the top 10 priority food allergens.
