The European Union has given the green light for two more species of insect to be used as food for humans.
As of Tuesday, a powdered form of
Acheta domesticus — better known as the house cricket — will be given the green light for human consumption within the European Union, documents from the body have confirmed.
This is soon to be followed by further approval for the sale and consumption of the larval form of
Alphitobius diaperionus — also known as the lesser mealworm — which will be given the green light for human consumption in frozen, paste, dried and powder forms within the European Union later this week.
