| Property | Parameter | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Product Name | Freeze-Dried Mealworms — 55% High Protein | Whole freeze-dried Tenebrio molitor larvae with guaranteed minimum 55% crude protein content |
| Life Stage | Larvae (L5–L6) | Harvested at peak nutritional density during late larval instar stage |
| Size Range | 20–30 mm | Uniform larval body length after freeze-drying; suitable for most feeder applications |
| Moisture Content | ≤5% | Low residual moisture achieved via lyophilization to ensure long-term stability |
| Protein Content | ≥55% (dry weight basis) | Crude protein measured by Kjeldahl method; rich in essential amino acids |
| Fat Content | 25–30% (dry weight basis) | Primarily unsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid; supports energy metabolism |
| Ash Content | 3–5% (dry weight basis) | Mineral residue including calcium, phosphorus, and trace elements |
| Survival Rate | N/A | Not applicable; product is freeze-dried (non-live); pre-harvest live rate ≥95% |
| Rearing Conditions | Temperature 25–28°C, RH 50–70% | Larvae reared in controlled environment facilities under biosecure conditions |
| Feed Source | Non-GMO wheat bran, vegetable by-products | Single-ingredient or mixed plant-based substrate; free from animal-derived inputs |
| Packaging | 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg, 25 kg options | Vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed food-grade bags; custom OEM packaging available |
| Storage Conditions | Temperature ≤25°C, RH ≤60%, away from direct light | Store in cool, dry, dark environment; refrigeration (2–8°C) recommended after opening |
| Shelf Life | 18–24 months (unopened) | Shelf life from production date under recommended storage conditions |
| Application | Pet food, reptile feed, poultry supplement, aquaculture, wild bird feeding | Suitable as primary protein ingredient or nutritional supplement across multiple species |
| Certification | ISO 22000, HACCP, EU Regulation (EC) No 2017/893 | Food safety management system certified; compliant with EU novel food insect regulations |
| MOQ | 50 kg | Minimum order quantity per SKU; lower MOQ available for sample orders upon request |
| Supply Capacity | 50,000 kg/month | Current monthly production capacity; scalable based on order volume and lead time |
First shipment had minor moisture variance — resolved promptly
Our initial 80 kg order showed moisture content at 5.9% on two of the eight bags tested — slightly above the ≤5% specification. We raised this with the supplier immediately. To their credit, they responded within 24 hours, arranged a replacement for the affected bags at no additional cost, and provided a revised QC report showing the root cause (a brief seal failure during packaging). Subsequent 150 kg reorder came in at 4.1% moisture across all tested units. Product protein content (55.3%) and shelf life performance are both solid. Issue was isolated and handled professionally.
