Before Feel Good Foods was born, Vanessa was making gluten-free foods out of her studio apartment and delivering them to New Yorkers by bike. Tryg Siverson was working as a chef at fine dining restaurants in New York City. Together they teamed up to open a small café inside New York’s historic Chelsea Market with a mission to create simple, high-quality foods. Armed with early success, they wanted to find a way to reach more people. Tryg had developed a recipe for gluten-free potstickers, which Vanessa loved. She ate them daily and a light bulb went off! She packed the potstickers in a ziplock bag with a lot of dry ice and hope and shipped them off to Whole Foods Market. That was their start. Fast forward to today and a full line—including egg rolls, empanadas, taquitos, and meals. Feel Good Foods is committed to using food in its natural state, which means they use non-GMO ingredients, including fresh vegetables, grains, and oils. They also use beef and chicken raised without antibiotics and cage-free eggs. They personally source each ingredient and don’t use preservatives, MSG, artificial ingredients, colors, additives or fillers.
