"Expanding our availability in both Kroger and Wegmans aligns with our strategy to grow our retailer and customer base," said Diana Levy, Founder and CEO of Undercover Snacks. "The global gluten-free products market is expected to reach approximately USD $10 billion by 2027 and we're excited to help meet increasing customer demand with our gluten-free, allergy-friendly, peanut/tree nut-free snacks."
Diana Levy, a health-conscious chocoholic and mom of three daughters, has taken Undercover Snacks from her kitchen table to a 14,000 square foot manufacturing facility she helped engineer. After two of Diana's three daughters were diagnosed with celiac disease, the company formally launched in 2017, scaling rapidly from neighborhood stores to nationwide availability. Undercover is produced with the highest level of food safety and quality in mind at the company's proprietary state-of-the-art SQF 3-certified factory in East Hanover, New Jersey.
All Undercover Snacks' products are allergy-friendly and school safe. Each treat is packed with protein, fiber and nutrients, and made with healthy, simple ingredients. The snacks are certified gluten-free, peanut/tree nut-free, Non-GMO Project verified, Rainforest Alliance Certified and are OU Kosher and Halal Certified.
