Undercover Snacks' Undercover Ingredients is a state-of-the-art ingredient processing facility located at the brand's East Hanover, NJ headquarters. This new facility focuses on producing crisped quinoa and other nutrient-dense ingredients using proprietary, all-natural technology. Through this method, the company avoids extrusion, oil, and additives.

By vertically integrating its supply chain, Undercover Snacks aims to ensure consistent, high-quality ingredient production to support its rapid growth and innovation in snacks and functional foods. The facility also enables the company to explore new applications for quinoa in categories such as savory snacks, breakfast foods, and GLP-1-friendly products. This is noteworthy as there is a reported growing demand for functional, plant-based snacks that offer both taste and nutritional benefits.
