Maple Leaf Foods leads Series A funding of Entomo Farms
Entomo Farms, a Norwood, Ontario-based operator of a human-grade edible insect farm, has raised an undisclosed Series A financing. The investor was Canadian protein consumer packaged goods company Maple Leaf Foods Inc, which gained a minority stake. Founded in 2014 by Jarrod, Darren and Ryan Goldin, Entomo provides cricket and mealworm powders and whole roasted insects to global food producers looking for an alternative to traditional meat protein. The partnership with Maple Leaf will help Entomo meet its "aspiration to become the largest insect protein supplier in the world," Maple Leaf President and CEO Michael McCain said.
