• Insect food you can trust.

    Food Safety

    Environmental Care

    Social Compliance

     

    ENTOTRUST is the insect food certification, it considers the whole production process, including environmental footprint and social compliance.

     

    The ENTOTRUST label on packaging is the proof that the producer reached high quality and total food safety, within local and international requirements.

     

     

     

  • The program for insect food quality

    We are an independent organization, certifying the quality of food products, containing edible insects. Certified products are safe and sustainable. The ENTOTRUST label is assigned only to those producers and farms complying with strict requirements.

     

    What drives us.

    A world where edible insects will supply healthy food, making high value proteins accessible to a wider population with important environmental and social benefits.

     

    Why we exist.

    ENTOTRUST mission is to ease consumer acceptance of insect-food, by backing quality producers, confirming their statements, helping to maintain top standards and defend their reputation.

     

    The principles.

    The program, based on international food and sustainability standards, follows the principles of:

    • Integrity. The organization is free from direct participation of producers and farmers.
    • Evidence. Solid scientific base with research partners.
    • Contribution. We participate in research. The input of all stakeholders is highly valuable.

     

    The Services.

    We certify innovative products and offer support on continuous improvement.

    • Food and Feed Certification
    • Nutri Report tailored nutritional guide for your products
    • Expert advise for insect farming and food production
    • Your GHGE calculation (greenhouse gas emissions)

     

    Producer

    Show your quality, protect your brand.

    We enable producers to be unique and preferred.

     

    Insect food trend is growing, with many farmers and manufactures entering the market. We confirm the quality of your products and processes, through the ENTOTRUST audit. You gain consumers' trust.


    ENTOTRUST is the international voluntary program to certify manufactures and farms. Newly certified producers.

    Consumer

    Eat safe and good food.

    We stand for consumers information and health.


    In the growing offer of insect based food, it is difficult to discern "garage" products from consciously produced qualitative ones. ENTOTRUST logo on pack helps you to avoid surprises, potentially harmful.


    ENTOTRUST label on the packaging is the reference to buy safe and high quality products.

  • How it works

    Affirm your products' safety, confirm your sustainability. We support you by auditing, within the existing food regulations, the manufacturing and farming activities. The program follows specific requirements and food standards (e.g. FSSC 22000, HACCP, GFSI). The assessment takes into account primarily:

    • Chemical elements presence
    • Microbiological elements
    • Ingredient origin and authenticity
    • Food safety in the processes
    • Environmental impacts and social fairness in the activities

    The analyses are performed by accredited laboratories and audits are carried out by expert auditors. We comply with the ISO/IEC 17021 standard meaning that we are able to ensure a competent audit team, following a consistent process and reporting results.

    1

    Engage

    We certify fact-based. An initial interaction on comprehensive topics is followed by the audit. Your products will be examined by accredited laboratories.

    2

    Audit

    The evaluation is thorough, including the laboratory results, interviews, site visus and provided documentation. We rely on professional auditors.

    3

    Feedback

    We'll share with you the results of the audit and key indicators. We will advise about improvements and action plan when necessary.

  • Sustainable safe

    Consumers want to be informed, thus demanding high-quality food.


    Quality is a chain where a missing ring can compromise consumer satisfaction or health.

    In food manufacturing there are aspects to be handled, such as hygiene measures, origin of the ingredients, contamination, storage and packaging... Insect farms might have environmental impacts for the use of energy. Which feed is given to the insects? how are the personnel working conditions?

     

    Insects, as alternative source of proteins, carry great potential as well as important responsibilities.

    Producers and farmers join the ENTOTRUST program to be on the safe side.

    Sustainable Development Goals focus

    Our supporting mission

    Traditional meat industry is not sustainable, animals are fed with vegetable proteins to produce … proteins. The irresponsible land use is devastating biodiversity, the trend of CO2 emissions cannot continue. ENTOTRUST committed to support 4 United Nations' SDG by making alternative proteins part of the diet of more people, with environmental and social benefits. Insects as source of proteins are nutritious, require a fraction of resources, with almost no CO2 emissions. ENTOTRUST logo on packaging builds trust with the consumers to adopt new dietary habits.

    Human rights in insect food

    Why social fairness in insect food?

    Upcoming human rights rules

    The EU is planning to introduce mandatory human rights due diligence regulations. Many governments will be serious about addressing working conditions in supply chains. The insect food industry must avoid the pitfall of other food chains. The new laws would require retailers to show that suppliers adopted social standards. Part of the ENTOTRUST audit is to verify also social fairness. Read the full article here.

    Tenebrio molitor stated safe, finally

    13 January 2021 can be considered a historical day in Europe for insect food. In fact, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) issued a positive assessment of Tenebrio molitor paving the way for a wider EU consensus, where some countries still ban its commercialization. Using insects in food is more than a trend, and the EFSA’s evaluation is essential for the policymakers who will decide for the wider EU authorization in the next months.

  • ENTONUTRE

    the quality label for pet food and feed.

    ENTONUTRE is quality pet food

    Also our pet friends, must count with high quality feed based on insect proteins. They deserve more than a mixture of processed meat by-products, synthetic thickeners and flavour enhancers.

     

    The ENTONUTRE certification enables the feed producer to attest safety and sustainability, that become visible on the packaging.

     

    This is the assurance that pet food was lab tested to avoid contaminants and the processes audited to confirm good practices and low environmental impacts.

     

    MORE INFO

    ENTONUTRE is quality feed

    The quote "you are what you eat" has never been so right as nowadays. Knowing that the feed given to farmed animals can reach unprecedent levels of chemical and biological contaminants, antibiotics and microplastics. Quality food comes from quality feed.

     

    With ENTONUTRE the feed for farmed animals, poultry or aquaculture, is lab tested, and the processes audited to confirm low environmental impacts and compliance.

     

    AQUACULTURE

    Fish fed on meat industry by-products or leftovers is common. Insect-based feed is more rich in nutrients, thus providing natural growth and quality meat.

     

    POULTRY FARMING

    It is demonstrated that eggs and meat produced with feed of insect origin is more nutritious and tastier. The diet is the best by nature and living conditions healthier.
