Food producers in the European Union will be allowed to use cricket powder in flour-based products when a new statute takes effect on Tuesday. The European Food Safety Authority found that mass-market consumption of partially defatted house cricket powder is "safe under the proposed conditions" of use levels, following a review launched three years ago. The company that submitted the original application for authorization, Cricket One, states the insects are "nutritionally more efficient" than livestock and serve as a more reliable "source of alternative protein."
The regulation also mentioned "limited published evidence on food allergy related to insects in general" and linked Acheta domesticus, the house cricket, to several "anaphylaxis events."
Because the evidence on allergic reactions triggered by cricket powder is "inconclusive," the European Commission decided that "no specific labelling requirements" were needed in the EU list of authorized novel foods "[u]ntil the data generated by the research is assessed by the Authority."
People who are allergic to shellfish, the medical center asserts, "may develop an allergy to crickets" because the species share many of the same proteins. Those who suffer from an allergy to cockroaches "may react to crickets," as well.
for those who are allergic, they pose a serious threat,"
"When ingested, crickets can cause anaphylaxis and other serious reactions."

“ partially defatted house cricket powder”… What the…? I can’t imagine how crickets could have any fat in them. These marketing people are looney tunes.
huge GOVERNMENT grants, millions of dollars of them, fund these horrid endeavors. Think "windmills".
Insects are wasteful and saying otherwise is a LEFTIST MYTH!

FUN FACT #542 : SCIENCE PROVED in 2017 and later that CHICKENS are 200% more protein per dollar to raise than any known insect or worm!
This includes: crickets, cockroaches, and earthworms.
Even before 2017, in 2015, early cricket research proved chickens were more efficient way to create animal protein for human consumption (measured in dollars of food used) : 2015 :
https://entomologytoday.org/2015/04/15/crickets-are-not-a-free-lunch-protein-conversion-rates-may-be-overestimated/
Chickens killed at a specific age, are 200% more protein yield from cracked corn, calcium mineral powder and water, THAN ANY KNOWN INSECT or WORM.
This is not debatable any longer but proven from research.
Globalists (WEF Socialists) manipulate governments into SUBSIDIZING grants to "cricket protein farms" and there is no willing market, so Socialists in 2023 will try to pass laws allowing this protein into institutional foods (schools, prisons). Its economic folly.
scrounging for INSECTS ARE FOR RETARDED CULTURES UNAWARE OF MODERN CHICKENS or lacking feed for chickens.
Chickens will not eat some forms of foul smelling garbage and feces that cockroaches will eat, but I am talking about sustainable agro business.
Worms, Crickets, and Cockroaches yield LESS protein per dollar of crushed corn , water, and calcium powder, vs a young chicken.
Nobody knows where the myth that insects yield more protein per dollar spent originated.
Some think this old wives tale may take a long time for science facts to extinguish, no matter how many papers prove superiority of chicken.
In theory... a plant substitute of legumes combined with corn would be cheaper than chicken protein, if access to 'free' sunlight. But vegetarian protein is for mexican beaners to live on. I like steak and sometimes chicken tendies on the floor next to my videogaming chair.
Bernie Sanders wants WHITE AMERICANS TO EAT INSECTS and to tax chicken and tax beef, if not eaten for cultural exemption reasons.
Beef eating while younger prevents IQ loss.
Beef eating REMOVES net carbon from air, though carbon dioxide is not a pollutant anyways.
A new study has just come out from Michigan State:
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agsy.2018.02.003
Impacts of soil carbon sequestration on life cycle greenhouse gas emissions in Midwestern USA beef finishing systems was just published in Agricultural Systems.
The researchers tracked carbon sequestration over four years.
From paper : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308521X17310338
Beef improves the Earth, and Chickens take less resources to create a gram of protein than any known raised insect.
BEEF improves things by eating bio waste... 43.2 BILLION kilograms of agro chaff grain waste to make beef! Watch educational 23 minute amazing video:

Insects Contain CHITIN Which Cannot be Processed by Human Gut, causing other problems, and metamorphic steroids including ecdysterone

A couple mammals can partly digest chitin via acidic mammalian chitinase.

TL/DR: Asshole socialists want to take away Whitey's cheeseburgers, to drop IQ and drop testosterone, and waste huge money grants towards foolish insect farming trials.
I hope they subsidize my gran, the cantakerous old witch. Then she can go into a home.
