Would you like a side of silkworms with that, Sir? S’pore To Greenlight 16 Species Of Insects Including Crickets For Human Consumption This Year
The second half of 2023 will see the approval of 16 kinds of insects for human eating by Singapore’s Food Agency , according to recent reports. Among them are grasshoppers, silkworms, and crickets.
Treatment procedures to eradicate any diseases that may be present in the insects are one of the primary safety measures. This practice seeks to prevent any potential foodborne infections. The SFA has also underlined how crucial it is to pack and store the insects securely in order to avoid contamination.
Singapore’s ultimate decision was reached after the agency ran a public discussion exercise on the control of insects and insect products from October 5 to December 4, 2022. There were 53 responses. These ranged from doubt to criticism and worries from business leaders who intended to introduce insect products.
