All Wild Harvest food products are now free from more than 140 undesirable ingredients, including synthetic ingredients, as well as artificial colors and flavors.
In March, Free From Fellows introduced sugar-free, gelatin-free and gluten-free Gummy Bears, Cola Bottles and Midget Gems. These stevia-sweetened, vegan candies do not contain artificial colors and flavors.

Ice cream has a reputation for being a sugar-heavy, nutrition void calorie bomb—and rightfully so. But today’s ice cream has the potential offer much more by adding much less (i.e., less sugar, less fat, etc.).

Protein, bite-sized snacks, and innovative flavors are in high demand.
There has been an increase in the percentage of adults who believe they snack healthier, which has climbed to 30% in the last decade. Relatedly, younger Americans are more likely to believe they eat healthier than are older adults.
Finally, the term "natural" as a marketing tool may have to change if the US Food and Drug Administration adopts regulations concerning the term.
