Bar production
Snacks appeared on the Russian market relatively recently, in 2012. Their production was taken up by the young and energetic Elena Shifrina. A graduate of the London Regent's Business School and the Skolkovo MBA, she worked as a model for many years. He knows firsthand what diets, a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition are.
The idea of making bars in Russia was prompted by Boston, where Elena went through practice. Massachusetts students' lunch was balanced and consisted of fresh fruits and vegetables. For a snack, most of them ate natural snacks. An alternative food option in Moscow, as it turned out, is difficult to find. Here the idea of the production of natural bars was born.
7 million rubles were invested in BioFoodLab. For a long time, the formula of 100% natural product was derived. It has no preservatives, flavorings, chemical additives and sugar. Dates are the main raw material for Bite snacks.
Bars were first made by hand. In Russia, there was no suitable equipment; over time, it had to be purchased abroad. Currently, bars are produced at one of the Rostagroexport workshops. The company buys ingredients for their manufacture from the best manufacturers in the USA and the Middle East.
Particular emphasis is placed on packaging. Take a Bite (bar) is wrapped in a three-layer Flow Pak wrapper (foil, film, paper). It protects the product from exposure to light rays and increases its shelf life. It looks impressive. Noteworthy.
The weight of the snack is 45 grams, and its calorie content is 140 kcal.
