According to a statement from Tyson Foods, the Springdale-based corporation has reached an agreement with Protix, a leading multinational insect ingredients company, to create and run an insect protein processing facility with the goal of providing more sustainable protein production— "primarily to be used in the pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries."

The collaboration will create "the first at-scale facility of its kind to upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids," according to Tyson.

The facility will house "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," according to Tyson.
