Simply Eight careers
We offer an alternative to moms who are concerned with all of the “junk” found in processed foods today and are unsure whether the foods found in grocery stores are good for their families. Women make over 70% of all grocery purchases and serve as "gate keepers" who control what the family, and particularly their children, eat.
Our brand is called Simply Eight and we make a line of “Junkless” breakfast and snacks foods. “Junkless” means: NO genetically modified organisms (NO GMOs), NO hydrogenated oils, NO high fructose corn syrup and NO artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
Our product solves a fast growing, mainstream consumer problem; one that Big Food companies have been unable and unwilling to address.
Our rock-star team has over 125 years combined experience in the food industry—where five of our six founders held executive-level positions--and we have the inside knowledge to overcome the large barriers to entry and successfully launch and grow new brands.
