What to know about...
Are all your products plant based?

Are all your products gluten free?
100%
How do you keep the sugar so low?
We use a combination of 3 incredible sweeteners:
Organic stevia, a plant grown in Paraguay that's been used as a sweetener for more than 2 centuries.
Allulose, a low-calorie sugar found naturally in jackfruit, figs and raisins.
Erythritol, a type of sweetener known as a ‘sugar alcohol’ which is made by fermenting the sweet, natural starches in fruits and vegetables.
Do all your Cookies & Truffles contain peanuts?
Yes. All S.O.S. cookies and truffles contain peanut flour.
What allergen warnings are there?
All S.O.S. cookies and truffles contain peanuts and tree nuts. They are also produced on equipment that may contain trace milk products.
Where are the ingredients?
Each product's ingredients are located on the respective page in a drop-down that says "Ingredients."
Please find the Nutrition Facts panel in the image carousel.
What are those white sand-like specks on my S.O.S.?
Don't worry! That white dusting on your S.O.S. isn't mold, but harmless crystallization. This natural process happens when moisture interacts with sugar crystals, causing them to dissolve and then re-crystallize on the surface.
But wait, S.O.S. is a practically sugar-free product, right? Great question! Surprisingly, crystallization can still occur even with low-calorie sweeteners like erythritol, resulting in a whitish streak or "bloom" appearing on top of your product.
So, rest assured! Crystallization affects only the appearance and texture, not the safety, shelf life, or flavor of your delicious treat.
What is the difference between the S.O.S Cookie and Truffle?
The cookies are soft, thick cookies almost like a brownie. The truffle is great if you're down with a "raw" dough texture, baked to perfection.
Why is protein important?
When it comes to nutritious foods, the power of protein is widely touted by experts and fitness enthusiasts for good reason. Not only does protein provide satisfying calories that keep you full and fueled longer but it helps build, repair, and maintain the body’s tissues.
What are Net Carbs?
The term “net carbs” simply refers to carbs that are absorbed by the body. To calculate the net carbs, take the total carbs and then minus the Allulose, Erythritol and fiber since they cannot be absorbed by the body.
Shipping & Storage
What is the shelf life?
S.O.S. snacks are refrigerated products. Keep them refrigerated after delivery and enjoy them while fresh. For longer storage, place them in an airtight container or tightly sealed bag and freeze them.
Storage: Freezing Instructions
For longer storage, place your S.O.S. snacks in an airtight container or tightly sealed bag and freeze them. When you’re ready to enjoy one, thaw it in the refrigerator as needed.
Is it alright if there's condensation in the package?
It's natural for them to have condensation after being in transit. Don't worry, to restore them to their normal consistency, we recommend just popping them right back in the fridge until you're ready to snack on.
My snacks arrived room temperature and not exactly cold, is that okay?
S.O.S. ships cold, but your snacks may soften or warm somewhat in transit depending on the weather and delivery conditions. When your order arrives, place the snacks in the refrigerator or freezer.
Why do S.O.S. Snacks need to be refrigerated?
S.O.S. snacks are made without preservatives and must be kept refrigerated or frozen. When your order arrives, place the snacks in the refrigerator or freezer.
On the go / Room-temperature guidance
Yes! S.O.S. snacks can come along for the day so you can enjoy them while you’re out. Heat can affect their texture. For longer outings or warm weather, we recommend using an insulated bag or cooler with an ice pack.
What is your shipping policy?
We ship Monday–Thursday via FedEx 2-Day. Order by 4 PM ET Monday–Thursday, and your order ships out that day. Orders placed after 4 PM ET Thursday or Friday–Sunday ship out Monday. Contiguous U.S. only.
