Unit Manager

about us

At graze, our mission is to rewrite the snacking rulebook. We stand against the snack-establishment and how unsatisfied it can make snackers feel. We want people to enjoy snacking again by eating delicious treats without worrying about eating too much sugar or salt. Thats why were always on the hunt for tastier, crunchier, fresher and better snacks that are good for you (and for the planet).

But how are we doing this? Well, weve already reduced the sugar in our snacks by 60% and were working towards becoming more transparent with our labelling (and encouraging other snack makers to do the same). Were here to make healthy, exciting and snacking a joy.

So it should come as no surprise that were also a certified B Corp and a proud advocate for the Better Business Act. Weve committed to being a better business by putting equal measure behind how our business operates for people, planet and profit.

Now thats a graze idea.
