Entosense develops edible insect products with the aim of integrating insects into everyday North American diets, addressing concerns about sustainable agriculture and livestock systems. The company highlights the nutritional value of edible insects, noting high protein with all essential amino acids and a range of vitamins and minerals, including iron, calcium, B12, and Omega-3, as well as prebiotic benefits. It also emphasizes environmental advantages, pointing to lower land, water, and feed requirements and the potential for cultivation in urban or rural settings, using bio-waste and humane production wherever feasible. Based in Lewiston, Maine, Entosense operates in the food and beverage services space, aiming to bring the edible insect option to restaurants and households across North America. In March 2020, Sysco announced a partnership with Entosense to add edible insects to its product lineup, reflecting growing interest in sustainable protein options among distributors. The Lewiston operation has pursued expansion to increase production capacity, illustrating the scale and focus of the company's niche in the insect products market.
