MEET PETE 

I’m the Director of Food Safety and Quality at Unreal Snacks.  Unreal Snacks produces delicious better-for-you chocolate snacks with real ingredients, great taste, low sugar, and are allergy friendly. Unreal takes classics like peanut butter cups and nougat bars and makes them better, and better-for-you! 

How did you get started? 

I was passionate about brewing beer and, after under-grad, completed a brewing and malting science course and started working in a brewery. I eventually became their QA Manager and have been working in food through various food industries ever since. I went to grad school and completed my Master’s degree in Food Science at the University of Maine, graduating in 2024.

Tell us why you use Union + Co: 

My current role is a remote position. I work from home but it is really great to be able to go to a co-working space and be in downtown Bath. The change of scenery and the ability to get out of the house to a downtown location is great. Also, there are days when there is a lot happening at the house and it is really nice to work from another location.
