For the more adventurous palates, bugs are not a problem to these people and they might even have a liking for them.
Often described as having a “nutty, earthy” taste, 16 bugs will be approved by the Singapore Food Agency for public consumption soon.The Straits Times , SFA said that they will be approving a list of 16 bugs in the second half of 2023 for human consumption. The list is as follows. Prior to selling these insects, manufacturers will need to make sure to abide by a certain set of guidelines set by the SFA. This is to make sure that they are safe for consumption.United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation The FAO says that insects are full of nutrients that are good for us and they require fewer feeds than regular livestock.
