A Global First for Insect-Based Protein! Following our ISO 22000 certification announced earlier this summer, we’re thrilled to share our latest milestone: FSSC 22000 certification (Food Safety System Certification). This prestigious standard, recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), makes JIMINI’S the first company worldwide to certify edible insects under this rigorous framework.
This achievement underscores our commitment to safe, traceable, and sustainable food innovation, while paving the way for broader adoption of insect protein across Europe.
What Does FSSC 22000 Mean for You?
The FSSC 22000 standard builds on ISO 22000 by introducing enhanced requirements for comprehensive food safety management:
✅ Food Fraud Prevention: Ensures a transparent, secure supply chain. ✅ Malicious Act Mitigation: Protects against intentional contamination. ✅ Stricter Allergen Control: Our insects (arthropods) contain proteins that may trigger allergies similar to shellfish or dust mites. Not recommended for individuals allergic to these groups.
With this certification, we guarantee products that meet the highest safety standards in the food industry.
Farm-to-Fork Traceability: How We Do It
Our insects are farmed in specialized facilities in the Netherlands, then processed at our FSSC 22000-certified workshop in Vaux-le-Pénil (near Paris). This 100% European supply chain ensures:
✔ Full control over every production stage, from breeding to distribution. ✔ Unmatched traceability, in partnership with our suppliers. ✔ Scalability to meet growing European demand for sustainable protein.
Why Is This Certification a Priority for JIMINI’S?
“Quality has been a cornerstone of our 2024 strategy. This certification addresses two critical needs: 1️⃣ Consumer Demand: Safe, high-standard products that align with global food safety norms. 2️⃣ Our Mission: Treating edible insects like any other food—with the same rigorous standards—while preserving their nutritional and environmental benefits.”
The journey doesn’t stop here! We’re continuously working to: ➡ Expand our product range with innovative, insect-based foods. ➡ Strengthen our European presence, leveraging this internationally recognized certification.
What’s Next? Stay Tuned!
We’ll soon share exciting updates enabled by this certification. In the meantime, explore our certified products on our website and join the sustainable protein revolution!
