Requirements every product must meet to be in our Snack Boxes.Updated a year ago

First and foremost, the snack product needs to be 100% delicious!

All items are carefully curated to ensure they are high in protein or fiber and never contain more than 5 grams of added sugars.

We also require snacks to fit within our nutrition criteria guidelines. 

  1. All products are vegan. However, we do not require products to be certified vegan. Our team closely vets each product including asking where companies source their sugar and added vitamins to ensure it is free of any animal byproducts.
  2. All products are gluten-free. However, we do not require products to be certified gluten-free.
  3. Many products included are organic although we do not require products to be certified organic.
  4. All products are non-GMO. However, we do not require products to be certified non-GMO.
  5. We do not include in our products the following artificial sugars; Aspartame, Sucralose, Acesulfame K, Saccharin, and Xylitol.
  6. We do try to limit products that include stevia, as it is a highly refined natural sugar.
  7. We do allow products that contain monk fruit sweetener as it comes from the mogroside, which is the sweetest part of the monk fruit. 
  8. We require products to have a certain level of protein + fiber to ensure we are providing you with snacks that are not just tasty, but also satiating and will help power you through your day.
  9. We do not include products with Maltodextrin.
  10. We do allow products that contain allulose, as it is naturally occurring in foods such as wheat, figs, and raisins.
  11. We do not require products to be palm oil free, however, if palm oil is included it must be certified sustainable by the RSPO (“Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil”).

Are the snacks keto, low-carb, corn-free, and diabetic-friendly?

While not being specifically related or catered to a specific diet such as keto, low-carb, corn-free, and/or diabetic friendly, every snack that goes into a DeliciousDoor box meets our stringent, research-backed nutritional specifications (less than 5% of all snacks meet these) such as less than 5g of added sugar, no artificial sweeteners/preservatives, etc. 

We don't explicitly check for corn-free, but since each product is carefully selected to be premium and high-quality, most products tend to be corn-free.
