History
Will Hauser and Lauren Walters founded Two Degrees Food in 2010 and launched in early 2011.[1][2] Hauser and Walters picked the name Two Degrees to emphasize the idea that only two degrees of separation exist between consumers to a hungry child.[2] In 2011, Two Degrees Food was recognized as a runner up in the Katerva Awards for Food Security.[3]
Two Degrees went out of business on February 1, 2017.[4]
Product and mission
Two Degrees Food produced a line of all-natural, gluten-free, vegan and GMO-free nutrition bars in several flavors to appeal to a wider audience. These products were Apple Pecan, Cherry Almond, Chocolate Banana, and Chocolate Peanut. The recipes were developed by Barr Hogen.[2]
The meals were locally sourced, and the company partnered with global non-profits and NGOs in order to fulfill this mission.[5]
One of their main ways to promote their business was using some of their profit to give food to hungry children.[6] Two Degrees Food has provided meals to children in areas including the United States, Kenya, India, Malawi, Somalia, Colombia, and Myanmar.[7][8][9][10]
