Amid repeated news reports of Stellar Snacks employees in Kentucky complaining of unsafe conditions in a $137 million factory for the Carson City-based company, a local sent us this photo expressing disappointment the brand was still being sold at Coffeebar in Reno.
Last year, its West Louisville factory was the target of multiples news reports, press conferences and complaints alleging unsafe work environments and discrimination.
The local also shared a Horrible Place to Work headlined Indeed review coming from a listed company maintenance technician in Carson City.
Stellar Snacks has repeatedly denied accusations of any wrongdoing.
“MY MOM AND I CREATED STELLAR SNACKS WITH A DREAM OF CRAFTING PRETZELS INFUSED WITH PASSION,” its about page indicates pointing to Elisabeth and Gina Galvin.
“Along with our brilliant team, we bake our snacks from scratch daily right here in Carson City, Nevada. From hand-picked seasonings to sustainably harvested flours, we take pride in the natural ingredients used to make our ambitious flavors.”
Under a Pretzels with a Purpose heading, it’s written that at Stellar Snacks, they “believe snacks are meant to be shared, so we make non-GMO, Kosher, vegan pretzel snacks that everyone can enjoy. We strive to make a positive impact with every ingredient we hand-pick and every product we deliver. Our dedication to sustainable manufacturing practices and our passion for high quality snack pretzels results in a better, healthier snacking experience.”
“I really wish they were truly good like they claim,” the local wrote in their message to Our Town Reno.
