Wicked Crisps was founded by Phil Kosak, a seasoned food scientist with a Ph.D. in food science and microbiology. Phil's career began with leading chip manufacturers, where he developed some of today's popular snack brands. Driven by a desire to create snacks that harmoniously blend exceptional flavor with health benefits, he established Wicked Crisps. Beyond crafting delicious snacks, Phil is deeply committed to community engagement. He built a company that is people-focused, supporting his North Carolina community with jobs for workers with disabilities. Wicked Crisps embodies Phil's vision of delivering "Deliciously Deceptive Nutrition," offering baked snacks that are both flavorful and nutritious. With over 35 years of experience in the "better for you" snack industry, the company continues to innovate, providing unique flavors like Red Curry Hummus and Sweet Potato Soufflé. In recognition of its commitment to quality and community, Wicked Crisps was named Exporter of the Year by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Phil's journey with Wicked Crisps reflects a dedication to creating snacks that delight the palate while promoting well-being, all rooted in a foundation of community support and inclusivity.
