Snyder's-Lance to Support Celiac Disease Foundation

Snyder's of Hanover is raising awareness and funds to support Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF). For the second year, Snyder's-Lance and its Snyder's of Hanover brand will donate $0.05 from the sale of specially marked bags through June 30.  The brand is also communicating the CDF partnership on special packaging during the promotional time period. According to CDF, celiac disease is estimated to affect 1 in 100 people worldwide, and consumer research reveals that nearly one out of three American adults wants to cut down or be free of gluten in their diets. "At Snyder's-Lance we recognize there is a critical need to offer snacking solutions to consumers on a gluten-free diet. We also want to help support programs that raise awareness and fund gluten-free education that can help advance research for a cure," said Rod Troni, Chief Marketing Officer, Snyder's-Lance, Inc. "Through this program with Celiac Disease Foundation, the Snyder's of Hanover brand will take an active role in the mission to improve the lives of anyone living with gluten-related disorders." Snyder's of Hanover launched its line of Gluten-Free Pretzels in 2013, and offers flavorful snacking options, including Hot Buffalo Wing and Honey Mustard Pretzel Sticks. In addition to Snyder's of Hanover, other Snyder's-Lance brands offer gluten-free options including:

"If you're shopping this month, consider choosing a bag of Snyder's of Hanover gluten-free pretzels with the blue label, to help further the cause, educate and generate greater awareness of celiac disease," said Marilyn G. Geller, CEO of Celiac Disease Foundation.
