What Riverside Natural Foods actually does
Riverside Natural Foods Ltd. is a food manufacturer behind two consumer snack brands, MadeGood and Good To Go. MadeGood makes organic granola bars, bites, morning bars, oat cups, cookies, and crackers formulated to be free of the top food allergens, certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, nut-free, vegan, and kosher. The company is not a farm operation; it formulates and manufactures packaged snacks built around an allergen-free, organic standard.
“We want our workplace to be fun and our work to be meaningful for everyone.”
Justin Fluit, Riverside Natural Foods
