Mr Bug adds mealworm seasoning shaker to range

Mealworm-based dog food company Mr Bug is to a superfood shaker that will provide a generous dash of mealworm protein to meals.

Dried mealworms contain 53% protein, 28% good fat, 6% fibre, 5% moisture and a full sprinkling of beneficial amino acids and minerals.

They also contain more B12 than salmon, more calcium than milk, more iron than spinach, and all nine essential amino acids.

Conal Cunningham, Mr Bug Founder, said: “Feedback from consumer shows like Crufts highlighted to us how worried growing numbers of pet parents were concerning the contents of their dog’s favourite dog foods.

“Insect protein toppers are seen as a commonsense means of providing a generous dusting of nutritional vitality to any dog’s daily eating regime.”

Mr Bug’s mealworm seasoning shaker (135ml) retails at £5.99.
