about graze and the world we are part of

At graze, our mission is to rewrite the snacking rulebook. We stand against the snack-stablishment and how unsatisfied it can make snackers feel. We want people to enjoy snacking again by eating delicious treats without worrying about eating too much sugar or salt. That’s why we’re always on the hunt for tastier, crunchier, fresher and better snacks that are good for you (and for the planet).

But how are we doing this? Well, we’ve already reduced the sugar in our snacks by 60% and we’re working towards becoming more transparent with our labelling (and encouraging other snack makers to do the same). We’re here to make healthy, exciting and snacking a joy.

So it should come as no surprise that we’re also a certified B Corp and a proud advocate for the Better Business Act. We’ve committed to being a better business by putting equal measure behind how our business operates for people, planet and profit.

Now that’s a graze idea.
