There is some mythology in the insect based food industry that only certain farms are food grade. However, regulatory agencies have not provided any official food grade certifications for edible insects to date (we do look forward to the day when they do!). The primary regulatory guidance we have been given, and follow strictly is that: 1) the crickets are not diverted from the animal feed supply, which means they are grown especially for human consumption (ie: for us) and 2) we utilize only food grade equipment, facilities, methods, packaging and handling procedures as well as monitor the microbiological counts of our product to be sure that it is free from pathogens.<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-27-1\" data-target=\"#fbd15c02c7600291f\" href=\"#fbd15c02c7600291f\"><div class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box\"><\/i><\/div><div class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">How do you process your crickets?
