Quinn Foods
Overview
For the past 10 years, Quinn has been on a mission to revolutionize food. It all started with reimagining microwave popcorn by removing the chemicals, plastics and using only real ingredients that we can trace back to the source. At Quinn, we use simple, delicious, real ingredients and never hide behind mysterious natural flavors. Oh and we kicked a few ingredients to the curb like artificial flavorings, preservatives and other unpronounceables and use organic and non-gmo ingredients whenever available. Our Farm-to-Bag™ initiative was created with the idea that transparency is the most powerful force for good in food. When you share where every ingredient comes from, you make food differently, you make it better. That transparency also puts the spotlight where it belongs, on those who grew it! But don’t just take our word for it – you can track our ingredients on quinnsnacks.com. Today, we're digging even deeper into transparency and sustainability thought our Be Better. Do Better.™ mission. This mission works directly with farmers to improve the health of their soil using regenerative ag practices. In June 2020, we kicked off our pilot program, planting 85 acres of sorghum for our pretzels in Western Nebraska. https://www.quinnsnacks.com/mission-be-better-do-better/ to watch out short documentary (don't worry, it's only 7 minutes!) and learn more.
