Our Story

Every Body Eat® was founded on one simple belief: everyone deserves snacks that are full of flavor, safe, and made with ingredients they can feel good about. For co-founders Trish Thomas and Nichole Wilson, this mission was personal. These two women and their families had dietary sensitivities and severe food allergies—and both were tired of choosing between snacks that were safe and snacks that actually tasted great.

Their partnership began in the most everyday place imaginable: a kids’ book fair. A quick conversation about food allergies turned into a shared question—what if allergen-friendly snacks could deliver real flavor and simple, straightforward ingredients?

At first, they explored creating a tech platform to help families find foods that met a wide variety of dietary needs. But after tasting their way through countless products, it became clear: the options they were looking for just weren’t out there. So they set out to make their own.

The recipe development journey was intense (they tested 12 different salts before they found the perfect topping), but flavor wasn’t the biggest hurdle—production was. No existing facility could meet our strict allergen controls or align with our values around transparent, cleaner snacking. So we chose to bake our products in dedicated allergen-free facilities, giving Every Body Eat® complete control over safety, quality, and the thoughtful ingredient choices behind every product.

From day one, the goal wasn’t just to make better snacks—it was to help build a better path forward for people. Inspired by Nichole’s work with youth-equity initiatives in Chicago, Every Body Eat® employs individuals from underserved communities, offering steady jobs, career training, and support that extends beyond the workplace.

Our first breakthrough came with Snack Thins—a crisp, craveable cross between a chip and a cracker. Made with simple, recognizable ingredients and bold, real flavor, Snack Thins quickly became a favorite for anyone looking for snacks they could trust and devour.

Next came Crispbread Crackers—sturdy, perfectly seasoned, artisan crisps crafted for dipping, topping, or straight-from-the-bag snacking. They became a go-to for people seeking an elevated, straightforward, clean-ingredient cracker free from the top 14 food allergens.

In 2024, we expanded again with Cookie Bites, nostalgic, poppable, mini cookies in flavors like Chocolate Chip and Ginger Cinnamon. Our Cookie Bites deliver the comfort of a classic treat with none of the compromise on taste.

Today, Every Body Eat® continues to redefine what allergen-friendly, clean-ingredient snacking can be—delicious, safe, simple, and made to be shared. With a growing product lineup and a purpose-driven mission, we’re proving every day that when every body can eat, everybody wins.

Our fearless founders, Trish Thomas and Nichole Wilson, only hear “opportunity” when other people may hear “no.” When these two tenacious women and their families were faced with their own dietary restrictions and food sensitivities, they set out to create delicious, clean snacking and meal options.
