Our insectburger is made of buffalo-insects which means it is definitely not a vegetarian or even vegan food product. Insects are animals and therefore generally not included in a vegetarian or vegan diet. But the insects are the only ingredients of animal origin in the product, which makes it "ento-vegan".
However, the breeding conditions can be assessed as species-appropriate compared to intensive livestock farming in the common meat producing industry. Besides, insects generally contain highly valuable proteins and are usually dense in important micronutrients such as iron, zinc and B-vitamins.
As opposed to regular meat, insects are more sustainable and resource-saving food for the future.
The buffalo-insects we use are grown under controlled and hygienic conditions in the beautiful Netherlands. We attach great importance to the quality of our products which only can be guaranteed by working with our experienced breeding site. Additionally, we care about short transportation routes to decrease the ecological footprint of our products.

The buffalo-insects are grown in the beautiful Netherlands where our breeder Protifarm is located. The company is optimizing the breeding standard for their insects and is a trustworthy source for our main ingredient. As most insects, the buffalo-insects feel comfortable in masses and gladly live together with one of their kind. Where mass animal keeping is a critical issue for the consumer nowadays, this argument does not hold for worms as they can easily be bread species-appropriately. Further, no antibiotics, hormones and other artificial and critical substances are needed nor used to grow the insects for our burger.
What our insects are eating? Our breeder formulates it like this:
The diet consists of GMP+-certified vegetable side streams which are in accordance with the European Feed Law. The feed composition has been optimized, through more than 35 years of breeding experience, to increase the efficiency of this valuable resource.
For most consumers it is important that they get vegetable-based feed and that it is 100% traceable (GMP+). In simple words; the buffalo beetle larvae eat feed that is graded for animals used for human consumptions. No waste side streams means that these are products that remain after the production of food for human consumption. These streams can’t be used for human consumption but, are very useful for animal feed as long as they can be traced and in our case are vegetable. The animals are feed with a composition of dry and wet feed. Because of this wet feed we don’t have to add any water in the breeding process.
We are always looking at new feed streams, to further improve our sustainability objectives and meet up to our nutritional targets. We will never change suddenly, as it might change the specs. Feed also needs to be available on large scale and in a constant flow
