Upcycled Food Expansions

RIND Snacks Signed a New Partnership with The Kroger Co.

— August 25, 2022 — Eco
'RIND Snacks,' the New York-based upcycled fruit company, announced a new partnership with The Kroger Co. that will push the upcycled food movement forward. This partnership brings a massive expansion to RIND Snacks retail footprint with the company now exceeding a 10,000 store-wide retail presence.

RIND Snacks is a pioneering organization in the upcycled food movement. The company's tagling, "Keep it Real, Eat the Peel," encourages the elimination of food waste through all-natural upcycling. The resulting products, which range from crunchy dried fruit chips to chewy bite-sized dried fruits, are all non-GMO verified, Kosher, vegan, and gluten-free, making them both better-for-you and eco-conscious products.

The brand is excited for its partnership with The Kroger Co. as RIND Snacks products will become available at more than 1,900 U.S Kroger stores throughout the year. Matt Weiss, RIND Snacks' founder and CEO, stated: "We’re thrilled to partner with Kroger to answer consumers’ growing desire for delicious, nutrient-rich snacks—ones that also align with their interest to support mission-driven brands that promote sustainable snacking.”
