Brooke & Matthew Navarro are the founders of Without A Trace Foods. Brooke grew up with severe food allergies and also watched her mom suffer from allergic reactions. Brooke lived with the burden of having to keep herself safe from a young age. She recalls being on the verge of tears so many times because she felt isolated when she couldn’t enjoy treats like her friends. When Brooke discovered that one of her children had food allergies, she knew it was time to leave her career in finance, take a leap of faith and create Without a Trace. Brooke & Matthew's goal is bigger than allergen free foods, it's for your kid to never feel left out because of his or her allergies or be labeled as “the allergic kid" and being able to create inclusivity for kids to feel safe and free to enjoy snacks without worry.  website: withoutatracefoods.com instagram: withoutatracefoods
