The alternative protein platform is intended to respond to growing demand for high-quality, nutritious and sustainable pet food. 

Bond Pet Foods’ CEO Rich Kelleman provided insights on how his company is developing sustainable, alternative proteins for the pet food industry during the 2025 Pet Food Conference.

Blended meat and pet food are expected opportunities for cultivated producers.

THE PACK and Meatly have teamed up to create Chick Bites dog treats for a limited release at Pets at Home. 

The new 968,752-square-foot facility will transform mealworms into high-quality ingredients for pet food and animal feed. 

The startups will compete for a grand prize during Global Pet Expo in March.

The certification represents a major milestone in allowing the insect producer to serve the European pet food industry.
