WEF: Insects Could Soon Be Appearing On Restaurant Menus In Europe..
Now we need to overcome the last major barriers: preconceived ideas about insects as a source of food and legislation with regard to the use and consumption of proteins derived from insects.
The ban on the use of insects as a source of protein has begun to evolve in Europe.
In 2017, the authorization of the use of insect proteins was expanded from feed for pet food to include feed for aquaculture animals.
This year the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) reported that mealworms are safe for human consumption and a decision is expected to be made regarding the use of insects in pork and poultry feed.
