Specialty Food Association

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, OHIO – (July 6, 2022) – Whoa Dough, the maker of a delicious line of healthy, plant-based on-the-go cookie dough bars, will showcase the line’s six flavors at the company’s inaugural appearance at the 2022 School Nutrition Association Annual Conference, July 10-12, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. Whoa Dough, which is exhibiting in booth #520, will be offering free samples.

"We are excited to exhibit for the first time at the SNA's Annual National Convention and to meet the attendees who are the driving force in school nutrition," said Todd Goldstein, self-proclaimed "dadrepreneur" and founder of Whoa Dough. "As a snack brand, we recognize schools' pivotal role in providing kids with nutritious snack options. Yet, many so-called 'healthy' snacks are often loaded with artificial ingredients that are hard to pronounce and filled with sugar. That's why we're proud to offer a deliciously healthy snack alternative for schools. Whoa Dough bars are made with all-natural ingredients and four of our flavors are free of many of the top food allergens that affect so many school-aged kids. Our nutritious and tasty bars are truly a win-win for schools."

Whoa Dough bars were invented by Goldstein, whose family was looking for tasty but healthier gluten-free snacks for his two young sons, who are both gluten-intolerant, along with Goldstein. The family sought a snack that tasted great and which they all could enjoy. After multiple tries to make the tastiest bar possible, Whoa Dough has become the healthier, better-for-you option for many with dietary restrictions.

The yummy, plant-based Whoa Dough line is Certified Gluten-Free, Vegan, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, OU Kosher, and Non-GMO Project Verified. The bars contain a number of allergy-friendly ingredients like whole-grain oat flour and chickpea flour, and are lower in calories than most comparable snacks (between 140 – 170 calories per serving). Best of all, they taste just like homemade cookie dough.

Whoa Dough will feature its four flavors that contain no allergens: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Brownie Batter Cookie Dough, Sugar Cookie Dough, Sprinkle Sugar Cookie Dough.
