Frequently asked questions

  • Doing more with less. Up-cycled foods are made from ingredients that would otherwise have ended up in a landfill. Act Bars are crafted with up-cycled grains, the byproduct of beer production. 

  • Over 30 gallons of water are required to produce just 1 pound of virgin grains. Through our alternative use of 5.5 grams of upcycled grains in every bar, we prevent 3 gallons of water from going to waste for every 1 bar produced. 

  • Upcycled dates are perfectly good dates that would have otherwise gone to waste, but instead are rescued and turned into a valuable food ingredient.

    Depending on the supplier, dates may be upcycled because they are:


    -Too small or too large for retail sale.

    -Cosmetically imperfect (scars, discoloration, or odd shapes) even though they're perfectly edible.


    -Soft or overripe, making them unsuitable for selling as whole dates but ideal for date paste.


    -Excess harvest that exceeds market demand.

  • Through our partnership with Brighter Bites, we’re committed to making fresh, nutritious food more accessible to underserved communities. For every Act Bar sold, we donate 10 cents, which translates to 1/2 pound of fresh produce for families in need. 

  • Each week, Brighter Bites visits elementary schools and summer camps to distribute fresh, seasonal produce for families and teachers to take home. These bags and boxes typically weigh around 20 pounds and contain approximately 50 servings of a diverse, ever-changing selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.
