Gooey is a low-sugar hazelnut-cocoa spread that was made to meet the demand for a healthier, more sustainable version of a delicious childhood favorite. This vegan-friendly chocolatey spread, free from palm oil, and gluten dairy, is all-natural and made with just a handful of simple, delicious ingredients. Followed by a rich base of hazelnut butter, Gooey's ingredient list includes organic agave syrup, liquid allulose, cocoa powder, and a few other additions to create its crave-worthy, spoonable flavor and texture, plus salt.
Like every Starday Foods product, Gooey was created to satisfy an unmet consumer need. The NYC-based company uses a proprietary artificial intelligence platform to find gaps in the market and rapidly launches products to fill those voids in less than half a year.
