>EU Approves Insect-Infused Food: Mealworms in Bread and Pastries Now Permitted
On 20 January 2025, the Commission has authorised the placing on the market of UV-treated powder of whole Tenebrio molitor larvae (yellow mealworm) as a novel food.
"There are already insects being sold as food in the EU. How is this possible?
This is true, for historical reasons, and there has been already three insects authorised (‘dried Tenebrio molitor larva’, ‘frozen, dried and powder form of Tenebrio molitor larva’, frozen, dried and powder forms of Locusta migratoria, and frozen, dried and powder forms of Acheta domesticus, and Alphitobius diaperinus under the novel food regulation.

"What are the next steps in this area?
According to FAO, over 1900 insect species have reportedly been used as food in the world. As for mealworms, the Commission has received several applications for the authorisation of other insect species such as Alphitobius diaperinus larvae (lesser mealworm), Gryllodes sigillatus (tropical house cricket), Acheta domesticus (house cricket), Locusta migratoria (migratory locust) and Hermetia illucens larvae (Black soldier fly) under the novel food regulation."
