“We are continually looking for ways to improve the taste and authenticity of our products,” said Shannon Gilreath, Farm Rich Director of Marketing. “We do this while adhering to the highest manufacturing standards and protecting the health and safety of our customers. We want to make sure everyone who enjoys our snacks and appetizers is well-informed about any changes to our offerings.”
