Berg Bites, a leader in the natural energy snack industry, is expanding its reach by partnering with KeHE Distribution, one of the largest natural and organic food distributors in the U.S. This move will significantly increase the brand's availability, allowing more consumers nationwide to access its nutritious and delicious energy bites and bars.

Founded in 2016 by Daniel Berg, a George Washington University alumnus, Berg Bites started from a family recipe for oat-based snacks. Daniel’s entrepreneurial journey began in 2017 when he joined Union Kitchen's Accelerator as a junior at George Washington University. Initially focused on commercializing his family’s oat bite recipe, Daniel rapidly scaled with the help of Union Kitchen’s resources, expanding the brand to gyms, hotels, and grocery stores across the country. The company focuses on providing energy-packed, all-natural bites made with complex carbohydrates from oats, essential fatty acids from nuts, chia seeds, and coconut oil, and prebiotic fiber for gut health—giving consumers a sustained energy boost throughout the day.

Through its partnership with KeHE, Berg Bites is now positioned to reach even more consumers via retail giants like Whole Foods, Kroger, and Target. This expansion comes at a time when the global healthy snack market is booming. According to Grand View Research, the market was valued at $85.6 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% through 2030. As more people opt for healthier snacking options, Berg Bites is prepared to meet this demand with its clean, on-the-go snack offerings.

Berg Bites' commitment to quality and innovation has been evident since its inception. The brand's lineup includes a variety of flavors and formats, catering to different consumer preferences. The company's focus on using high-quality, natural ingredients ensures that each bite provides the energy and nutrition needed for a busy lifestyle.

Now, with KeHE on board, Berg Bites is primed for even more success. This partnership represents a significant milestone in the company’s growth and solidifies its place in the competitive natural snack market. As the demand for healthier snacks continues to rise, Berg Bites is set to lead the charge in offering convenient, nutritious options that support an active lifestyle.
