RHEWUM tackled these issues by developing together with some scientific experts a new efficient screening procedure which is as animal-friendly as possible. The animals must neither be squashed nor subjected to high accelerations, but on the other hand you need to get them to jump up, and mealworms seem to actively hold on to the screening mesh.
Separating the mature worms both from their food substrate and the juvenile animals that are not yet ready for processing is a complex step in production.
The worms grow from egg to larvae in large farms. Compared to other domestic animals, raising and breeding them is much more climate friendly, which means that mealworms are steadily gaining importance as part of a sustainable diet. Like many insects, meal worms are a source of high quality protein. Mealworms as a source of protein is more and more commonly accepted as a climate friendly alternative to meat. RHEWUM has developed a screening procedure gentle to mealworms and other insects
