Italian pet food company FORZA10 has launched FIL BLU, a wet cat food that transforms an environmental crisis into a gourmet meal. The product features blue crab, an invasive North American species that has colonized Italy's Adriatic Sea, devastating local marine ecosystems and threatening the livelihoods of traditional fishermen in the Polesine region. What makes this crustacean particularly destructive is its voracious appetite and rapid reproduction rate, disrupting the delicate balance that sustains native species.The collaboration brings together universities, fishing cooperatives and pet food specialists to create what the company frames as a "virtuous supply chain." Beyond addressing the ecological emergency, FIL BLU offers cats a protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential minerals like selenium and zinc, plus B-vitamins. FORZA10 has committed to donating proceeds from the product to local fishing cooperatives, creating an economic incentive for fishermen to actively harvest the invasive species while supporting the development of this new processing infrastructure.TREND BITEThe FIL BLU initiative represents a maturing approach to invasive species management, where environmental problems become business opportunities. While it isn't the first brand to turning ecological threats into pet treats (Chippin, for example, focuses on silver carp), FORZA10 adds a strong local twist.The narrative of saving the Adriatic and supporting Polesine fishermen anchors a sustainability story in cultural pride, appealing both to consumers who scrutinize the environmental impact of their purchases and those who might be more easily swayed by an emotional connection to national identity and regional heritage.
