BEAR Fruit Snacks

San Francisco, CA

BEAR Fruit Snacks is a natural products brand from San Francisco, CA with 6 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable candy. 5 are Certified Gluten-Free and 5 Certified Non-GMO, and its range is distributed by UNFI and KeHE.

The BEAR founder read an article in January 2009 about how bears had moved into cities to forage from behind junk food joints and bins. These 'city bears' were 30% fatter than their wild bear friends eating salmon and wild berries. They were also 30% less active and sadly all dead by the age of 10, whilst over 60% of the wild bears lived on healthily. The story resonated with us, as we found that people and families were always growling about how hard it was to get fruit into their diets. We promised to search the world for healthy snack alternatives to processed foods! And so BEAR was born!
