HOUSTON — Raw superfood bars from B.O.S.S. Food Co., which launched into wholesale in July, have quickly gained distribution, representation and retail placement.

The line of five cold-pressed and plant-based bars, which are certified gluten free and paleo, are being distributed by UNFI of Providence, R.I., through its UNFI Next program, said Andrea Spirov, B.O.S.S. founder and CEO.
