The Amazing Chickpea Launches Crustless CB&J: A School-Safe, Nut-Free Twist on a Classic Favorite

Plymouth, MN — The Amazing Chickpea®, a Minnesota-based maker of chickpea-powered, allergy-friendly foods, announces the launch of its new Crustless CB&J™ sandwiches — an innovative, nut-free take on the classic PB&J designed for schools, foodservice, and modern families seeking safe, convenient nutrition.

Made with The Amazing Chickpea’s signature chickpea butter and paired with real fruit jelly, between soft, sesame-free bread, Crustless CB&J™ delivers the familiar taste and comfort of a traditional lunchbox staple without peanuts or tree nuts, all the while containing half the added sugar and 30% less calories than of leading brands. The product is fully plant-based, soy-free, milk-free and crafted to support allergy-aware environments, helping ensure more students and consumers can enjoy a nostalgic favorite with confidence.

Meeting 2026 USDA regulations, the Crustless CB&J™ was developed in response to growing demand from K-12 nutrition programs, healthcare facilities, and parents for safe, ready-to-serve options that meet allergen and operational needs without sacrificing taste. Individually portioned and easy to ensure consistent preparation, the product supports streamlined foodservice operations while providing a satisfying source of plant-based nutrition.

“Every child deserves to feel included at the lunch table,” according to The Amazing Chickpea team. Crustless CB&J™ brings the familiarity of a beloved classic to environments where peanut and tree nut products aren’t an option. It’s a simple idea with a meaningful impact — nut-free, delicious, and ready for everyone.

The Amazing Chickpea was founded in 2016 with a mission to create inclusive, nutritious foods rooted in accessibility and great taste. From spreads to sandwiches and snack bars, the brand continues to expand its lineup of chickpea butter products designed for schools, families, and health-conscious consumers.

Crustless CB&J™ is now available for foodservice partners and institutional buyers, with broader availability soon expanding across select channels.
