Snyder’s of Hanover’s UNBELIEVABLE Greenwash

Ok, so we’re not really the type of folks to throw out the greenwashing penalty flag, but this is just ridiculous.

Snyder’s of Hanover has ripped off the design of the USDA Organic seal to simply list product ingredients… and ingredients that aren’t even organic.

I snapped this photo in my local grocery store last week:

I posted it on The Fun Times Guide to Living Green’s Facebook Page earlier today and our awesome friends there were as shocked as I was.

We’ll never label a business or person as a greenwasher for making a little more of their efforts then are actually warranted, but to do what seems like a blatant attempt to bamboozle well-intentioned customers who are trying to eat healthier and organically?

Come on Snyder’s, that’s just messed up.

What do you think? Feel free to weigh in here or on the Facebook Page link above.

By the way, here are the ingredients:

“Potato flour, potato starch, expeller-pressed sunflower oil, tomato, salt, potassium chloride, spinach powder, turmeric, beet powder.”

I might give Snyder’s a bit of a break if these “Veggie Crisps” really were organic, but do you see the word “organic” listed anywhere in those ingredients? Yeah, me neither.

I think every little step toward living green is an awesome one… but eco-snobbery sucks! My goal is to help newbies learn the most important steps toward living green — individually and collectively. Personally, I strive to have as little impact as possible on Planet Earth while I'm here.

JoshuaAs an advocate for good health, I usually try to choose the 'greener' option over other more dangerous and/or wasteful options. Generally, if it's bad for your health or the planet, I try to avoid it. In my effort to live green... on a budget, I like to find new (healthier) budget-friendly ways to do things -- from eating and cleaning to recycling and home decorating. My goal is to help you take the chore out of living green by sharing fun new ecofriendly ideas that you can try today... or any day! My all-time favorite way to live green is to repurpose items and give them a new use -- I've written a lot of useful DIY articles.

LynnetteMy experience with living green consists of taking baby steps (like making one big change each year as my New Year's resolution) -- because I've seen too many people burn out on trying to 'Save the Planet'. I share a lot of Simple Ways To Go Green, as I find new and successful strategies that have worked for me. While I'm baby-stepping my ecofriendly habits in life, you will find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites).
