FoodNerd, which received a $1M investment from 43North in 2024, is building out a 28,000-square-foot factory in Western New York.
FoodNerd has officially launched nationwide in Sprouts Farmers Market, bringing its nutrient-dense Mega Puffs to more than 400 stores across the country.
This milestone comes less than a year after the company celebrated the ribbon cutting of its 28,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Buffalo, a major step in scaling its proprietary production process.
Founded by Sharon Cryan, FoodNerd is rethinking how children’s food is made—focusing on nutrient density during the most critical stage of development: a child’s first 1,000 days.
After 43North’s $1M investment in 2024, the company continued building in Buffalo, investing years into research and development. Its new facility allows FoodNerd to control its process end-to-end from sprouting seeds to final production at scale.
FoodNerd closed on $7.5 million in funding earlier this year.
