Better start reading labeled folks. They’re putting crickets in your food whether you like it or not.

Note that crickets are listed as an ingredient, but rather as a "may contain". This is probably done because someone sued this company for not saying it may have some cricket residue, which if an organic product, would likely contain all sorts of insect residue. The tradeoff between having no pesticides in a food product is having MORE insect residue than the regular products. Someone allergic to rats will probably sue them at some time, and then they will have to have "may contain rodent hairs" :)
It has cricket flour listed in the main ingredients.
Then it says Contains later at the bottom. It has it listed with milk after the main ingredients as they are known major allergens. This product does contain crickets and milk.
It is kind of sneaky to do it this way, as it is the traditional way of putting the May Contains after like that. Normally the allergens are simply listed in bold at the end of the ingredients list.
I'm sure you're right that they are trying to cover their butts.
If they listed cricket flour as a main ingredient, then it's pretty straightforward; I didn't see that when I first looked at it. It's not as bad as a can of peanuts with the warning: May Contain Peanuts :)
Right? I've had to pass up many items for family and friends because of a May Contain warning. I'm like.. but you have a 50/50 chance of a reaction! Lol
Good eye
I didn't catch that it actually has cricket flour listed as an ingredient! I wonder when roach flour will be an ingredient in some foods? :)
