Why is Buddee "school safe"?

Are there any allergens in Buddee spreads?
-

-
Buddee spreads are NOT suitable for people with chickpea allergy.

If Buddee is nut free and allergen friendly, what's it made of?
-
The main ingredient in Buddee spreads is chickpea. Not only is chickpea healthy, but also high in protein and dietary fibre. But shhh!!... don't tell the kids that! ;)

6
Do Buddee spreads contain palm oil or preservatives?
-
No. Buddee spreads are completely free from palm oil and preservatives.
7
Why is there sometimes a layer of oil on the top, and/or sometimes it's a bit dry at the bottom?
-
Similar to many nut butters, it is very normal for spreads of this nature to have the oil slowly rise to the top. So when you first open the jar and every so often, give it a good stir all the way to the bottom. This will also help prevent the bottom from drying out.
