About Kosuma Foods

Kosuma Foods is a specialty retail business located on King St. in London's Old East Village. The company serves customers seeking healthy alternatives to highly processed energy or protein bars by offering handmade, whole food energy bars that are vegan, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened. The product line features nine different varieties, including Chocolate Peanut, Peanut Butter, Pecan Spice, Cranberry Chocolate, Cranberry Almond, Cherry Chocolate, Chocolate Almond, and Chocolate Coconut. These bars are crafted using natural ingredients such as dates, tapioca syrup, nuts, seeds, and locally sourced gluten-free oats. They are described as high-protein options containing brown rice protein powder, providing between 9-11 grams of protein and 4-6 grams of fibre per bar. Customers can purchase individual cases of 12, a custom variety pack, or a monthly subscription. The business was founded by Judy Gremaud, who began creating the bars in her home kitchen to meet her family's dietary needs. Kosuma Foods officially launched on May 1, 2012, at the Western Fair Market in London. In 2017, the business was passed to co-owners Ephie Smith and Meghan Bonk, who continue to operate the company based on its original core values. The bars are handmade in small batches in St. Thomas, Ontario. The business offers free local delivery to London, St. Thomas, Komoka, and Kilworth, while providing shipping across Ontario for other locations.
