General FAQs

Altimate Nutrition is Singapore’s first start-up dedicated to transforming insects into nourishing and sustainable food products for humans. We aim to use cricket protein to replace traditional sources of protein and to produce tasty, nutritious and sustainable food products.

Crickets are a source of protein, fiber, vitamin B12, iron and other nutrients. Compared to other forms of protein, cricket farming requires less land and water and emits fewer greenhouse gases. Choosing insect-based products is a step towards promoting sustainability.

Cricket farming up to 2000x* less water to produce the same amount of protein as high-end beef. Crickets and other insect-based proteins offer a solution to the growing demand for food while reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional livestock farming.

Eating insects, including crickets, is a common practice for over 80% of the world's population and is completely safe. At Altimate Nutrition, our crickets are grown in a controlled and certified environment, following GAP, GMP, and HACCP standards. All our insects have passed stringent food requirements as set by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA).

Our crickets are ethically sourced from Thailand.

According to MUIS Singapore, the Fatwa Committee has ruled that protein produced from insects is halal. As such, we are currently working with halal certification bodies to get our products certified as halal. Additionally, please note that all our products are produced in an environment that handles only insects.

Crickets belong to the same family as crustaceans such as shrimp, crabs, and lobsters. If you have a shellfish allergy, you may also be allergic to crickets.
