Bare Foods Co. (Bare Snacks)

Bare Foods Co. (doing business as Bare Snacks) was founded in 2001 by a family-owned organic apple farm in Washington, that began selling packaged baked apple chips in local farmers' markets.

Under its current leadership team, it has expanded steadily to become the leader in apple, banana and coconut snacks. It has recently expanded into vegetable chips and offers the industry's broadest assortment of baked crunchy fruit and vegetable chips.

Bare products are made from simple ingredients that are baked, not fried.

They are Non GMO Project verified, feature clean labels and are sold online and in natural and conventional retail channels across the United States.

Pepsico has agreed to acquire Bare Foods Co..

Upon closing, Bare Snacks will continue to operate independently from its headquarters in San Francisco with its leadership reporting into Frito-Lay North America, a division of PepsiCo.
