I wonder how many insects were on the menus at Davos?
EU Gives Green Light for Two Insect Species to Be used for Human Consumption
The European Union has given the green light for an additional two insect species to be used for human consumption.
The Acheta domesticus, better known as the house cricket, has been approved for human consumption within the European Union, according to documents.
This comes as further approval for the sale and consumption of the larval form of Alphitobius diaperionus, or mealworm, will be given the green light for human consumption in the form of powder, frozen, paste, and dried.
The news comes amid the latest push by the European Union to normalize eating bugs, with many organizations pushing insects as a food item to help fight climate change.
According to a press release from the EU, it says while it is “up to consumers to decide whether they want to eat insects or not,” the bug-based food can serve as an “alternate source of protein,” with the bloc emphasizing that bugs are already eaten in other parts of the world.
