We believe the best moments in life come with a side of snacks. Whether you’re trekking a trail with a buddy, cracking up with a co-worker, or enjoying a movie night with the fam, Hardbite wants you to take a bite outta life, one crunchy, all-natural chip at a time.
TAKE A BITE OUTTA LIFE
WE LET OUR CHIPS DO THE TALKING
Sure, we talk a big game, but we let our chips do the real heavy lifting. Experience the Hardbite difference and you’ll see that better-for-you snacks don’t have to taste like it.
REAL INGREDIENTS. REALLY GOOD TIMES.
We believe in keeping it real with our ingredients and our customers. We don’t put anything into our chips that we wouldn’t be happy to eat ourselves (and we’re pretty picky).

FAQ
All of our products are gluten-free and safe for those with gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease.
We send our products to be lab tested and verified. We also receive Certificates of Analysis that state that our seasonings all have less than 20 parts per million of gluten (Health Canada identifies this as the threshold deemed safe for people with Celiac to consume).
Yes, all our products are now kosher, certified by the MK-Canada Kosher Certification Agency. These guys are the leaders in kosher certification in Canada and one of the largest certifying bodies worldwide. So we don’t mess with them.
Yes, however our facility makes products containing dairy.
Before we produce our products that do not contain dairy, we conduct a thorough cleaning of all equipment. Seasonings containing dairy are segregated from all non-allergen seasonings and they have their own specific tools (i.e. scoops) to prevent cross contamination.
Glad you asked. Potatoes, Carrots, Sweet Potatoes and Parsnips (being vegetables of course!) give us our vegan roots, and then we add our vegan, gluten-free, all natural seasonings. Vegans beware though, one is not – Honey Dijon contains honey.
To ensure our products remain non-GMO, sometimes sourcing within Canada is not an option. Our seasonings often contain spices, which may not be available in Canada due to our climate.
We also take transportation emissions into consideration. For example, we are far closer to say, Oregon than we are to Prince Edward Island.
Our small batch fryers are filled with uncooked sliced potatoes. Once those potatoes are fully cooked, that batch is removed, and the process starts again. Compare this to a continuous fry method, which feeds a continuous stream of raw potatoes along a conveyor in a shallow pool of oil.
Cooking in small batches results in a chip with a hard bite and that handcrafted crunch you love!
Our products are Non-GMO Project Verified, with one exception: Honey Dijon. You can learn more about this verification at nongmoproject.org.
No peanuts or other nuts are processed in our facility.
We have a strict allergen management program which dictates that none of our ingredients can have peanuts and our suppliers must also have their own allergen management programs in place which eliminates cross contamination at their facilities.
No MSG is used in any of our products or seasonings.
Some of our products do contain yeast extract. While both MSG and yeast extract contain glutamates, yeast extract has a significantly lower concentration of glutamates and is naturally derived.
Hardbite Chips are made in Surrey, British Columbia, located 40 minutes south east of Vancouver. Our production facility is BC’s only potato chip manufacturing facility.
