Quinn Snacks Earns Climate Friendly Label for Snacks Line

Sustainable snack brand Quinn has achieved the Climate Friendly product attribute from its partner, HowGood, an independent research company with the world’s largest ingredient sustainability database. Quinn will begin to  roll out the first ever on-pack Climate Friendly label on its snack products in 2023.

Products that receive the Climate Friendly attribute have greenhouse gas emissions that are lower than 70 percent of all products assessed by HowGood. The new on-pack label allows consumers to easily identify products that are more sustainable.

As part of Quinn’s ongoing commitment to being a trailblazer in making real change to the food system, the Company always seeks out ingredients that support soil health and reduce carbon emissions, and share all that information with its Ingredient Transparency Policy. Through its partnership with HowGood, Quinn is now able to further measure the impact of its ingredients and products, including its carbon footprint.

HowGood’s assessment for the Climate Friendly attribute takes into account greenhouse gas emissions at the agricultural production and ingredient processing stages of the carbon life cycle and identifies those with significantly lower emissions.

“Transparency is a huge priority for us at Quinn Snacks.  When you know where your food comes from and how it’s grown, you make food differently, you make it better.  Regenerative agriculture can drastically reduce emissions and make farms more resilient to the effects of climate change.  We’re excited to have HowGood’s Climate Friendly label to communicate our commitment to the environment and responsible sourcing” said Kristy Lewis, Quinn founder.

Quinn snack products featuring the Climate Friendly attribute will be reassessed yearly to ensure the Company and its products continue to meet the current industry benchmarks. The new label will begin to appear on packaging in retail stores nationwide in early 2023, and it will be made available immediately on product pages across Quinn’s website.
