Paris, June 17, 2020 – Ÿnsect has just gained approval for its natural insect fertilizer “ŸnFrass” issued by ANSES, the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety.

ŸnFrass is now distributed to its first customers including Compo Group, the European leader in plant nutrition for amateur gardeners and Torres, one of the most admired European wine brands.
