Did you know over 90% of roasted tree nuts are actually deep fried? Not ours. We do things differently. By dry roasting all our nuts and seeds, we've created healthier, crunchier, and tastier snacks that our customers can feel good about eating. Dry roasted snacks have a longer shelf life, better nutrient retention, no trans fats, and are easier to digest. We're also a company with a conscience. Laid Back Snacks is a certified B Corporation and Climate Neutral certified, which means all our operations are carbon neutral today. Social and environmental responsibility are at the heart of everything we do. You can find our snacks in grocery stores, retailers, hotels, foodservice locations, and offices. We also provide an online ordering service which means delivery is just a few clicks away. Customers personalize their order by selecting from 30+ delicious options at www.laidbacksnacks.com. Laid Back Snacks is a healthy snack food company based in Surrey, BC, Canad
