I work at UMD Stores and while putting out food the other day I noticed we got a new product. The product is a little bag of chips and the company that makes them is called Food Should Taste Good. The reason I'm blogging about this is because the back of the bag caught my attention. Next to the Nutrition facts it says this:
All Natural
Kosher (OU)
No MSG
Low Sodium
Trans Fat Free
A Good Source of Dietary Fiber
Not Genetically Modified
Gluten Free
Lactose Free
No Preservatives
Cholesterol Free
Since we have been talking about food so much in class, I thought this would be interesting to share. We carry it in the store here on campus and for such a healthy snack it's relatively cheap! I tried the Sweet Potato kind and it was very good. If you go on the Food Should Taste Good
website they provide the nutrition facts on all their products. Here's a little bit of what the company does for the Environment;it's taken from their site:
"At Food Should Taste Good® we have taken steps within our manufacturing facilities and offices to lessen our impact on the environment.
Our manufacturing facilities are spread across the country to promote fuel-efficient transportation with less gas usage. Our corrugated packaging is 100% recyclable and made from 65%+ recycled content. Our ingredients are non-genetically modified.
At our main office, we provide employees with plates and silverware that we wash to reduce the use of paper and plastic utensils. We also initiated our own recycling program, use low energy lights, and practice minimal and efficient travel. Our philosophy is that every little bit counts!"
It's a small company, but it looks like they make a big effort to be healthy. I really recommend you try one of their chips.
Wow, that sounds like a really nice company along with the products they make. I like their idea of the plates and silverware. I work at Essentia Health and we are charged extra for using take-out containers so its an incentive not to use them. I'll be sure to look for the chips next time I need a snack break at school.
ReplyDeleteThis is really interesting, I think the plates and silverware idea is great. This company sounds extremly concerned with our environment, mayby some others should take notes!!
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool! I especially like the name because it infers that food should "naturally" taste good, which is why they have no chemicals in their product. Good find!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad we sell this at the school store! It seems like a pretty cool company and I agree with them wholeheartedly- food should taste good. Since you liked the sweet potato kind I might have to try those if I need a snack at school one day. I'll definitely keep my eye out for these.
ReplyDeleteIt is so great that this is available on our campus. I would love to see more nutritious options available!
ReplyDeleteYUM! I'm excited to try these! I'm glad our campus is taking a little more initiative in healthier eating and decided to carry these chips! Thanks for sharing!
