Tyson Foods to Bring Bug-Based Protein to US Markets After Joining Forces With ‘World Leader in Insect Ingredients’

Tyson Foods announced a new partnership with a Dutch company that brands itself as the “world leader in insect ingredients,” to foster “more sustainable protein production” in America.

The food conglomerate last week said it agreed to a strategic investment with Protix to “support the growth of the emerging insect ingredient industry” and bring insect-based proteins to market in the U.S.

“Our partnership with Protix represents the latest strategic investment by Tyson Foods in groundbreaking solutions that drive added value to Tyson Foods’ business,” said John R. Tyson, chief financial officer of Tyson Foods.

“The insect lifecycle provides the opportunity for full circularity within our value chain, strengthening our commitment to building a more sustainable food system for the future.”

Protix CEO Kees Aarts likewise released a statement praising its partnership with the global food giant.

“We are very excited to announce the next step in our international growth strategy. Tyson Foods’ and Protix’s strategic partnership advances our joint work towards creating high-quality, more sustainable protein using innovative technology and solutions.”

“Moreover, we can immediately use their existing byproducts as feedstock for our insects. This agreement is a major milestone for Protix and significantly accelerates our ambition to grow through international partnerships,” he added.

Tyson said it will begin building a facility in the U.S. focused on insect protein and larvae production for livestock and plant feed.

“The to-be-built facility in the U.S. will house an enclosed system to support all aspects of insect protein production including the breeding, incubating, and hatching of insect larvae. In addition to ingredients for the aquaculture and pet food industries, processed larvae may also be used as ingredients within livestock and plant feed,” the company said in a statement.

Protix, founded in 2019, is one of the largest insect-based ingredient manufacturers in the world.

The partnership marks the latest development in the establishment’s quest to introduce bugs into mainstay diets as a way to combat “climate change.”

Unelected globalists at the UN and WEF are utterly determined to abolish farming, using any pretext they can dream up, so people will have no choice but to eat an insect-based diet—as detailed in an excellent new documentary titled ‘No Farmers, No Food: Will You Eat The Bugs?’… pic.twitter.com/sPZKyyCqDp
