Who are we? Since Day 1, KIND has had a vision for a kinder and healthier world. A world in which people never have to choose between what tastes good, feels good, and does good when it comes to their snacking. Our iconic KIND bars - made with real, recognizable ingredients - sparked the growth of an entirely new healthy snacking category back in 2004. Now, KIND has a family of more than 80 snacks that offer solutions for a variety of occasions. All of KIND's products lead with a nutrient-dense first ingredient - like nuts or whole grains - and do not contain genetically engineered ingredients, sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners.
