US business Watusee Foods, which makes products based on chick peas, has been acquired by local products and professional services company ArchPoint Group for an undisclosed sum.

The Washington DC-based business – which has a product range including crispy and popped snacks called Chickpeatos and the gluten-free breadcrumb alternative Chickpea Crumbs – was founded by Jimmy Edgerton and Greg Katz in 2013 to create a portfolio of clean-label, limited ingredient snack foods with transparency – “What you see is what you get” being its motto and the origin of the company’s name.
