Farmed Insect Certification Program

Responsibly Raised Insects offers an insect welfare certification program. It is a first of its kind label. We partner with auditors to guarantee that RRI certified producers adopt higher welfare practices for insects at all life stages under their care.

RRI’s standards include measures to improve insects’ health and wellbeing, to reduce their experiences of stress and discomfort, and to engage more humane slaughter and depopulation practices.

Our core values are insect-focused production, higher welfare farming systems, and continuous improvement. Certifying with us allows you to signal your commitment to these shared values.

Producers can commit to standards at one of three tiers for all of the insect products we certify. Explore our standards to see which commitment tier will be the best fit for your team.
