New US snack company to produce gluten-free bean-based crisps
The founder of American snacks company Guiltless Gourmet has announced the launch of a new company called Right Brothers Foods in Austin, Texas, which aims to tap into demand for healthy snack foods.
The company’s first product will be Beanitos, crisps made from black beans and pinto beans.
Foreman said that now was a good time to introduce the gluten-free, low glycemic crisps “because of the widespread concern about the decline of Americans’ health as a result of the Western diet.”
The founder, Doug Foreman, said he expects to hire about 50 new staff during the first half of 2009 and a further 450 over the next three years.
