evidence: Tyson announced a partnership with Protix to expand the use of insect ingredients for sustainable proteins and lipids for use in the global food system, according to a press release. Tyson Foods will acquire a minority stake in Protix and will build a factory in the United States that will "upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids which will primarily be used in the pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries." [...] At this point, Tyson has no plans to use the insect protein in human food.
