NACHSHONIM, Israel – Packaged Feeds, a leader in innovative food waste-to-resource solutions, has partnered with FreezeM to integrate its Breeding-as-a-Service technology into their Black Soldier Fly (BSF) operations. By selecting FreezeM’s PauseM® product, Packaged Feeds underscores the unmatched operational efficiency and protein quality that PauseM® delivers, validated through extensive field pilot testing.
PauseM®, FreezeM’s flagship product, contains suspended BSF neonates with a 14-day shelf life, eliminating the need for in-house BSF breeding. This synergy with Packaged Feeds’ advanced rearing technology establishes a scalable, high performance insect farming process, driving the company’s transition from proof-of-concept to large-scale operations. FreezeM will initially supply PauseM® from its state-of-the-art facility in Germany, ensuring seamless integration and robust support as Packaged Feeds scales its efforts.
Building on their expertise in organic surplus co-product solutions, Packaged Feeds has successfully developed a pioneering BSF rearing and processing technology based on proprietary modular rearing units that can be rapidly deployed near organic co-product sources. These modular insect bioconversion farms provide efficient, scalable and adaptable solutions tailored to diverse operational setups. In 2025, Packaged Feeds is planning to deploy its first production site, with the capacity of treating 15,000+ tons/organic surplus co-products per year. By the end of 2026 the company expects to operate 6 such sites in the UK, treating over 100,000 tons of surplus co-products/year.
FreezeM’s support during the development and pilot phases demonstrated PauseM®’s clear advantages over alternative breeding solutions. This collaboration has created a powerful synergy between FreezeM’s high-quality Breeding-as-a-Service model and Packaged Feeds’ innovative setup, enabling expansion to multiple locations with precision, efficiency and speed.
“Choosing PauseM® was a strategic decision that will enhance both our efficiency and scalability. This partnership enables us to meet growing demand, expand operations, reduce complexity and ensure sustainability while delivering top-quality solutions.”
Adam Bensusan, Packaged Feeds’ Sales Director
“Our growing collaborations over the past year highlight that the future of BSF farming lies in a decoupled model, with BSF breeding delivered through PauseM® — a ready-to-use, high-quality and consistent solution”.
Yuval Gilad, CEO and Co-Founder of FreezeM
This partnership exemplifies both companies’ commitment to innovation, sustainability and quality. Together, FreezeM and Packaged Feeds are poised to set new benchmarks for BSF farming and organic waste management, driving forward impactful solutions that promote global sustainability and reduce waste.
“Our collaboration with Packaged Feeds is a key step in shaping that future, enabling scalable, efficient, and sustainable insect farming systems.”
