BAR-U-EAT FAQs

BAR-U-EAT Bars and Bites are manufactured at our own facility in Hayden, CO just outside of Steamboat Springs.

All the ingredients in our bars are inherently gluten-free, however, our facility is not currently a certified gluten-free facility.

Our products contain honey so they are not considered vegan.

There is the equivalent of approximately 3 bars in each bag of bites.

Yes! All BAR-U-EAT bars are sold in BPI Certified compostable packaging. We are currently the first and ONLY bar company in the world to have this certification!

BPI certification means that BAR-U-EAT has obtained 3rd party verification of ASTM standards for compostable products in North America. BPI is currently the only company to offer this certification in the USA. California and Washington require 3rd party verification in order to sell certified compostable products within state lines.

Our products are certified for commercial composting, which means you can take them to a commercial composting facility or schedule a pickup!

Our BPI certified compostable packaging is made from plant-based cellulose (wood pulp), sourced from PEFC Certified sustainably managed forests and corn.

Yes! Everything that is compostable is technically biodegradable, however not all biodegradable packaging is compostable. BAR-U-EAT packaging is biodegradable because it breaks down naturally, and eventually is absorbed by the soil. Being compostable means that we adhere to ASTM-D6400 compostability standards (it’ll break down in industrial conditions and will be 100% disintegrated in less than 84 days)...pretty cool!
