The brand features premium ingredients which combine scientifically proven benefits with a low environmental impact. According to the company statement, Sprÿng offers easy-to-incorporate, neutral-tasting, odourless and light brown ingredients, designed with the needs of pet food manufacturers in mind. Made using the Molitor mealworm, the ingredients are natural, highly nutritional, and healthy, and can be used in the production of dry and wet pet food. The ingredients boast the highest protein content in the insect market (up to 71%), low ash content (less than 5%), and linolenic acids. Sprÿng embodies the company’s mission to revolutionise our food system, whether for humans or pets. It comes on the back of Ÿnsect’s recent announcement to reaffirm the pet food market as one of the pillars of its short-term development strategy, alongside the opening of Amiens, the world’s largest vertical farm which is preparing to make its first deliveries in 2023. “At Sprÿng, we raise mealworms to provide a new qualitative source of food for pets while limiting our impact. The contribution to climate change of one kilo of our Protein70 feed, for example, is seventeen times lower than that of beef offal, but also lower than that of chicken offal” explained Maximilien Jouy, Impact Manager Ÿnsect.
