Our Story

Our Values

Enjoy Life Foods started by Bert Cohen & Scott Mandell. Bert’s family member was diagnosed with MS and was advised to follow a gluten-free/dairy-free diet. Upon looking into options, she found that there weren’t a lot of options that met these needs. Enjoy Life was born with a mission to produce great-tasting snacks free from the 8 most common allergens as defined by the FDA. Today our foods are free from gluten and 14 allergens. Since our inception in 2001, we’ve launched more than 85 products, we’ve seen our team as well as the community we serve grow and we are proud to be in over 40,000 locations nationwide. Get to know us and our history over the last 18 years below.
