The Safe + Fair Food Company's Popcorn Quinoa Chips are a new line-up of crunchy edibles for consumers that differ from preexisting options as they are a healthier, [free-from variety](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simply-snacks).

The chips are made from puffed quinoa which makes them a superfood snack that is naturally free from gluten. The additional flavoring, on the other hand, is formulated to be free from the top eight allergens. The non-GMO snacks come in three flavor varieties, including 'Sweet & Salty Kettle,' 'Olive Oil & Sea Salt' and 'Sweet Sriracha.' These are all perfect for consumers, seeking to avoid [fried alternatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pipcorn-fries) on the market.

The Safe + Fair Food Company's Popcorn Quinoa Chips also support the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy and Asthma Research at [Stanford University](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatine-by-elysium-health), with 3% of proceeds benefiting the center.
