A group of fathers invented Buddee to bring school-safe lunch box options to every child. When one of the founders found out his kids have peanut and egg allergies, he was heartbroken and wanted to make a change. Things like going out to restaurants became difficult, if not impossible. His kids could not attend parties due to unknown safety risks, and their quality of life was lacking.
Buddee is a spread that can be taken to all schools and eaten inside every classroom. The mix is chickpea-based and free from the top ten most common food allergens.
There are currently three versions of the Buddee, including Crunchy Spread, Smooth Spread, and Chocolate Spread. They all have creative packaging that stands out on shelves. Those interested in a healthy alternative to chocolate, Nutella, and peanut butter can learn more about Buddee on Kickstarter.
