Bar None Was Created for My Family and Yours

The impetus for launching Bar None was when Ali (founder and CEO) found out that her middle son had several anaphylactic food allergies, which was on the heels of her husband getting diagnosed with celiac disease. Grocery shopping and dining out became stressful, time-consuming, prohibitive ordeals that forced Ali to become a whiz in the kitchen, whipping up all sorts of tasty dishes and dips and bars and all the items she could no longer safely buy in grocery stores for her family. As she spoke to more and more families and became her community's point person for people struggling with shopping and cooking around allergies or other dietary restrictions, it became abundantly clear that grocery store offerings were simply not meeting the needs of families with food allergies. She wanted to turn this stressful event on its head and make fun food again for families with food allergies. Driven to help educate and advocate for families facing allergies and other dietary restrictions, Ali is on a mission to stock grocery shelves with safe and delicious foods free from the top 9 allergens that will make grocery shopping easy and fun again so we no longer have to scrutinize ingredient labels. Bar None is a premium brand that feels like a first choice, not a consolation prize, for anyone who needs to or prefers to eat free from any of the top 9 allergens (milk, egg, wheat, soy, peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, fish, shellfish) or who simply likes to eat clean without sacrificing taste. All items are organic, vegan, gluten-free, and free from junk, made from wholesome and nutritious ingredients you could find in your own pantry and taste delicious. She hopes to let other families like hers know that we're not alone, we're in this together, and we deserve access to the best foods around!
