Cricket processing facility to bring 60 jobs to London, Ont.
Eating bugs? Not a bad idea if you can get past the ‘yuck’ factor, experts say Mayor Ed Holder welcomed Aspire Food Group to the London region on Monday afternoon.“You know how in the past people have said ‘well, we’ve gone crickets?’ Well, London’s gone crickets and I think we couldn’t be more proud of Aspire Food Group,” Holder said.“It’ll start by employing about 60 people with room to hire more folks as demand grows.”Holder also stressed that the company chose London, Ont., after an “exhaustive search over the past year.” While the company is based in Texas, it has its beginnings in Canada.“We are thrilled to be building this facility in Canada, where our journey started seven years ago as graduate students at McGill University,” said
