Australian-owned and operated Buddee has launched in Woolworths, offering spreads that are entirely free from the top ten allergens, dedicated to putting spreads back in school lunchboxes.
Co-founded by Seong-Lee Ang and Rodney Chieng, Buddee recognises that Australia has one of the largest food allergy rates in the world, leading to strict policies in schools across the nation.
As a parent of two children who struggle with severe food allergies, Ang made it his personal mission to ensure that Buddee provided a safe and inclusive food option school lunchboxes.
“We wanted to create a product that tasted good but could be enjoyed by all children so that no-one feels they are missing out,” says Ang.
Chieng says Buddee doesn’t compromise on taste or texture, setting them apart from the very few allergy-friendly spreads that already exist on supermarket shelves.
When compared to other conventional spreads, Buddee contains less sugar, less saturated fat and is free from palm oil. Buddee spreads are also vegan-certified and available in three types; Crunchy, Smooth and Chocolate.
Buddee Chocolate and Smooth spreads are available at Woolworths and Coles supermarkets nationwide for RRP $6.50.
