Bains spearheaded a drive to establish a company that would produce options for people with multiple food allergies.
The result was Rocket Foods, which makes three varieties of oatmeal and has plans for other food lines.
“There is a need in the marketplace for food that’s free from allergens for the general public. It seems every household nowadays has someone allergic to something,” Bains said. “There is definitely a need for products that are free from all sorts of nonsense you read on labels we have become accustomed to.
“All of our ingredients, an eight year-old can pronounce,’ he said. “We wanted to create products that tasted great and were free from the most common allergens.”
