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.

ArchPoint, which also operates in Europe and Asia, was founded in 2007. Its specialist areas include business consulting, branding and marketing, and global supply chain.
