Schriever Air Force Base
Connoisseurs of KIND Healthy Snacks brand
snack bars need to steer clear of the company's Strong & KIND line,
as the high protein snacks are made with hemp seeds.
"When I talk to new Airmen coming on the base, I tell them to always
read the label," said Edward Roski, 50th Space Wing Drug Demand
Reduction Program manager.
All five flavors--Hickory Smoked, Honey Smoked BBQ, Thai Sweet Chili,
Roasted Jalapeno and Honey Mustard--list hemp seeds as an ingredient.
The line was launched in April 2014 as the company looked to introduce
an all-natural product with bold flavor.

Nearly as ubiquitous is Ever Bar,
which launched in 2014 and is already in 80 stores, boasts founder Alex
Hempfield. The University of Maryland grad wanted to raise awareness of
hemp.
“I was tired of the lies being told to the public,”
Hempfield says. (And yes, that’s also why he legally changed his last
name two years ago.)
He spent a year playing with 2,000 recipes
to develop a bar that could showcase hemp’s nutritional qualities and
taste great. The resulting Ever Bars are now “handcrafted” in
Gaithersburg.
