Actress Kristen Bell’s snack bar brand is undergoing a transformation as it gears up to introduce its first product under a new name. This Bar Saves Lives, co-founded by Bell, will now be known as All In. The rebrand includes updates to the brand’s mission and overall look. All In will soon hit shelves across the U.S. with a range of flavors, including the popular Madagascar Vanilla snack bar.
James McGinnis, the CEO of All In, expressed excitement about the brand’s new direction, stating that they are committed to creating bars that are irresistible and offer something unique in every bite. The brand is focused on using high-quality ingredients, giving back to the community, and prioritizing local initiatives.
Backed by a $4 million fundraising round led by Obvious Ventures, All In is led by McGinnis, who brings extensive experience from senior roles at CPG brands like Clif Bar. The brand’s snacks are gluten and palm oil-free, with a special line catered towards children with allergies to the top eight allergens.
