What Happened to Chapul

Chapul, a Utah-based maker of cricket powder for food products, has decided to exit the protein bar space for now and pursue an insect farming operation in Indonesia after its co-packer went out of business, Food Navigator reported. The company could decide to return to bars in the future.

Who owns Chapul?

Chapul was founded in 2012 by Patrick Crowley with the help of family and friends as a way to introduce edible insects and their amazingly healthy & sustainable protein into the Western cuisine.

Is cricket a powder?

Cricket flour, or cricket powder, is a mild-tasting protein powder made out of milled crickets. Cricket protein is nothing new.
