Always Check Your Labels!
Formulations can change, and every brand's lineup is a little different, so it's always smart to check the label on any packaged snack before tossing it in your cart. Just because one product from a brand is made with avocado oil or fits a certain diet doesn't mean every product from that same brand follows the same formula. Reading the label each time helps you confirm a snack still fits your household's needs.
At Jackson's, we make this part easy. Every Jackson's snack is always cooked in avocado oil, always vegan, and always made in a top 9 allergen-free facility, so you can feel confident reaching for any bag on the shelf.
