Two Degrees Food was a socially responsible food enterprise specializing in vegan snack bars, operating under a one-for-one business framework. Established in 2010 by Will Hauser and Lauren Walters, the company officially launched its products in early 2011. A portion of the proceeds from each sale was dedicated to feeding children facing hunger. The company discontinued its activities in 2017.

History

The inception of Two Degrees Food occurred in 2010, with founders Will Hauser and Lauren Walters initiating operations the following year. The brand name symbolized the minimal gap—just two degrees—connecting consumers with children in need. In 2011, the company earned recognition as a finalist for the Katerva Awards in the category of Food Security.

Operations formally ended on February 1, 2017.

Product and mission

Two Degrees Food produced nutrition bars that were all-natural, gluten-free, vegan, and free from genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Available flavors included Apple Pecan, Cherry Almond, Chocolate Banana, and Chocolate Peanut, with recipes crafted by Barr Hogen.

Committed to sourcing ingredients locally, the company collaborated with international non-governmental organizations and nonprofits to achieve its objectives. Its model ensured that every product sold resulted in a meal donation for children experiencing food insecurity across multiple countries such as the United States, Kenya, India, Malawi, Somalia, Colombia, and Myanmar.
