The Georgia Peanut Tour made a stop today at Lance Snacks in Columbus, Ga. Lance Snacks started with two men selling single serve snacks in 1913 and today they are a leader in the snack food industry and one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of snack foods in the United States, especially in the South. Did you know – Lance uses 28,000 farmer stock tons of peanuts annually and 14 million pounds of peanut butter annually for crackers. Attendees of the peanut tour took a tour of the Lance facility and were shown how peanut products are processed and made into the final product that consumers enjoy!
