Why use insects in edible products?
Using insects in food products offers numerous advantages. They are a sustainable alternative protein source, requiring fewer resources such as water and land than traditional livestock farming. Furthermore, insects are rich in essential nutrients such as protein, fatty acids, fiber, and vitamins. Incorporating them into diets helps diversify protein sources while reducing the environmental footprint of the food industry.
What is cricket powder?
Cricket flour, made from ground roasted crickets, offers an innovative and eco-friendly alternative in the field of nutrition. It serves as a replacement or supplement to meat consumption, offering a remarkable concentration of essential nutrients. Indeed, it is a rich source of easily digestible complete proteins, vitamin B12, iron, and chitin, a prebiotic fiber beneficial for digestive health. Its cleaner production and reduced environmental impact make it a sustainable and responsible food choice.
Does insect-based protein powder have a particular taste?
Insect-based protein powder has a mild, nutty flavor. This characteristic allows it to blend seamlessly into a variety of recipes and protein drinks, whether added to smoothies, energy bars, protein pancakes, baked goods, and more.
Are insect protein powders safe for human consumption?
Edible insects must meet the same standards as any other food sold to Canadian consumers, whether online or in stores. When imported, exported, or traded between provinces, manufacturers must comply with the Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR).
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and Health Canada both play a vital role in monitoring the risks associated with edible insects. Health Canada establishes strict policies regarding the food safety and nutritional quality of products intended for Canadians. The CFIA, for its part, ensures compliance with these policies by testing insects for pesticides, heavy metals, and pathogenic bacteria. In addition, it inspects facilities producing edible insects in Canada when laboratory results are found to be non-compliant or complaints are reported.

Insect and seafood allergies
Our products contain insects, and it's important to highlight the potential risks for people with shellfish allergies, as insects and shellfish share similar allergenic proteins. If you are allergic to crustaceans (shrimp, crab, lobster) or mollusks, you may also be allergic to insects. We strongly recommend that you consult your doctor or an allergist before consuming any products containing insects.

Your health and safety are our priority. We do our best to provide clear and accurate information to help you make informed food choices.
Can I eat insects if I am a vegetarian?
Traditionally, vegetarianism excludes the consumption of meat from land or aquatic animals. However, vegetarians' stance on insect consumption can vary depending on their personal beliefs and understanding of vegetarian principles. Some consider insects a viable alternative protein source due to their low environmental impact and high nutrient content, while others prefer to avoid them for ethical or moral reasons. Thus, new terms are emerging, such as "entotarian," referring to someone who incorporates insects into their diet, much like pescitarians do with fish, often for environmental or health reasons. In short, the decision to consume insects as a vegetarian remains a personal one, requiring each individual to consider their own values and motivations. For those who choose to explore insect consumption, it is recommended to seek out ethical and sustainable sources.
