EU Insect Food (un)healthy
The EU is expanding the list of insects approved for human consumption. But EU insect Food (un)healthy ! 🤢🤮
EU insect approvals – disgusting or the future?
More and more insects are officially allowed in our food in the EU: mealworms, crickets, grasshoppers and, since 2025, even UV-treated mealworm powder. Critics refer to it as “disgusting food” – and not without reason.

Health concerns
- Allergies: People who are allergic to shellfish or dust mites may also react to insect proteins.
- Contamination: Poor breeding conditions can lead to bacteria, parasites or heavy metals.
- Chitin & digestion: The insect shell can cause digestive problems in sensitive individuals.
Labelling requirement
The EU requires clear declaration of insect content – but hidden in ingredient lists as “partially defatted cricket powder,” it could easily be overlooked.
Conclusion
For some, they are a sustainable source of protein, for others, they are simply disgusting. The fact is: insects are here to stay – and if you want to avoid them, you have to read the ingredient lists carefully.
