Seven years in orbit.

Founded by Allison Byers in Naples, Florida, CHEW. F. O. was built on one belief: gluten-free should never mean second best. Here is the whole flight.

Greetings, Earthling.

The CHEW. F. O. has traveled from far away to unite two things: gluten-free and deliciousness!

Join our mission and discover just how tasty our galactic goodies are!

The mission log.

Building better, one bite at a time.

2019
Lift-off
Allison Byers founds CHEW. F. O. in Naples, Florida with one simple goal: create a cookie so good it unites everyone at the table, not just the people with dietary restrictions.
Early days
Before the bar, a cookie
Before the bar, there was a cookie: a big, soft, vegan double chocolate chip cookie, baked and bagged by hand.
2023
First contact
CHEW. F. O. lands at its first big trade show, the Sweets and Snacks Expo, as a first-time exhibitor.
2023
The Space Chip
Allison dreams even bigger: a UFO-shaped kids baking oven called the Space Chip, built by hand and pitched to Hasbro. Watch the build
The long test flight
Years of testing
Getting a soft-baked cookie to stay fresh for 365 days while keeping the taste and texture took years. Taste always came first.
Touchdown
The cookie becomes a bar
The Blast Off Bar is born: a soft-baked cookie shaped into a 1.9 oz bar, individually wrapped so it can go anywhere. Original Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Raisin.
Naples
Landing close to home
Local shelves take a chance on us. Wynn's Market tags us Locally Made, and we've popped up at cafes, tea rooms and yoga studios around town.
2026
Launching delicious into a new dimension
Blast Off Bars head to Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, and Blast Off Bites are first shown at the School Nutrition Association national show.
Next mission
More than cookies
Bars. Bites. Baking mixes. What started as a relentless pursuit to create a better cookie became something much bigger: a mission to redefine an entire category.
