EU approves powdered insect larvae in bread and other foods
29.01.2025 10:00

The European Commission has approved the use of mealworm larvae flour in a range of food products including cheese, jams, pasta and bread, provided the insects have been treated with UV radiation.

The decision, published under Regulation (EU) 2025/89, requires clear labeling to warn consumers—especially those with shellfish allergies—about potential allergic reactions, Polish daily Rzeczpospolita reported.

Economist Adam Gwiazda said the move aligns with the Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) long-standing support for insects as a more environmentally sustainable source of protein. Alongside mealworms, house crickets and migratory locusts have also been approved for consumption in frozen, dried or powdered form.

The World Economic Forum argues that insect-based foods can help combat climate change by offering alternative protein sources. Under the EU’s “novel food” regulations, edible insects are categorized alongside algae and other products derived from modern techniques.

Yes, in Saudi Arabia, the consumption of grasshoppers, known locally as "jarad," has been a part of the culinary tradition for centuries. This practice is not only limited to Saudi Arabia but is also found in various cultures across the Middle East and North Africa. Grasshoppers are often considered a delicacy, especially in rural areas, where they are collected, cleaned, and prepared in various ways, such as roasting, frying, or grinding into a paste. They are valued not just for their taste but also for their nutritional content, providing a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals.

This tradition reflects broader practices of entomophagy, or the eating of insects, which is more common globally than many in Western cultures might realize. In Saudi Arabia, this practice has cultural significance and is sometimes seen during certain seasons or as a nostalgic food from times when it was more common due to less availability of other food sources. However, with globalization and changes in dietary habits, the practice has become less widespread in urban areas, though it persists in some regions and among certain communities.

How is the president supposed to review the spending in the federal budget without actually reviewing the spending?
