About the company:

David and Jennifer Bacon founded the company based on the premise that healthy meals should not only fuel bodies but also taste great. Nutrition and fitness have always been at the forefront for the FlapJacked Founders and their family. FlapJacked’s first product, the Protein Pancake & Baking Mix, was initially developed to better serve the needs of their 5 children and their son Jace, who has autism and was a very picky eater. It was a constant struggle trying to get Jace to eat, and when he did he wasn’t getting proper nutrition. This daily battle encouraged the Bacons to change the eating habits of their entire family. Since the family loved pancakes, and couldn’t find a healthy pancake mix on the market that they were happy with (and would feed their children), they developed a nutritious, easy-to-prepare, protein-packed pancake mix that’s perfect for active people with busy lifestyles. It has since then become a staple in many active households. FlapJacked continues to innovate high-protein, macro-friendly indulgences aimed to satisfy cravings and keep you on track with your fitness goals.

About the company:

Since 1985 Shining Ocean has been a leader in the surimi seafood business. Since the beginning the name Kanimi has been an indicator of quality. Some things do not change. From our original Kanimi brand to Seafarer and Crab Smart Natural, the Kanimi logo has always meant that we sweat the details. Shining Ocean is also known for introducing innovative new products into the marketplace. We pioneered the healthy surimi trend. Among our innovations are the first branded retail product fortified with Omega 3 fish oil, the first retail product to use no phosphate surimi with all natural flavors, and the first to color our surimi with lycopene, made from tomatoes.
