The palatability response was equivalent to that achieved with 3% squid meal, a long-established benchmark in shrimp feed formulations.
The renewed certification validates its fully circular model, which relies on repurposing agricultural by-products to produce insect-based protein.
The new range offers a highly digestible source of natural protein, along with essential fats that support skin, coat, and overall pet health.
Insectum says investor interest will be essential as the company scales its patented technology across regions facing mounting waste and protein pressures.
