Grasshoppers on your cereal? Grubs in your rice?
Locusts in your noodles? Singapore approves 16 insect species as food


From locusts to superworms to honey bees, Singapore has approved 16 species of insects for human consumption.

“With immediate effect, SFA will allow the import of insects and insect products belonging to species that have been assessed to be of low regulatory concern,” the Singapore Food Agency said in a statement.

The agency said the following list of approved bugs can be imported for both human consumption and animal feed for food producing animals.

1)Western honey bee/European honey bee

2)Silkworm/silk moth

3)Lesser wax moth

4)Honeycomb moth/greater wax moth

5)Giant Rhino beetle grub

6)Whitegrub

7)Mealworm

8)Lesser mealworm

9)Superworm beetles/giant mealworm beetle/king mealworm

10)Grasshopper

11)American desert locust/desert locust

12)African migratory locust

13)Black/field cricket/two-spotted cricket

14)Common/field cricket

15)Banded cricket

16)House cricket

Some local restaurants and retailers have already made plans to add insects to their offerings.

Sustainability-focused Gastrobar Fura had said it would feature insect proteins on its menu following SFA approval. Insectyumz celebrated the approval and said it would import, distribute and sell a range of edible insects. Seafood restaurant House of Seafood also introduced a selection of “intriguing insect dishes” alongside its current menu.

Singapore’s food agency acknowledged that the country’s insect industry is “nascent” and that the critters are a new food item in the city-state. But in announcing a regulatory framework for edible insect imports, the SFA emphasized its priority was ensuring the safety of food consumed in Singapore.

The guidelines stipulate that the insects cannot be harvested from the wild and must be manufactured in regulated premises. SFA said that in its consideration of new insects for consumption, they must have a documented history of consumption as food outside of Singapore.

The United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization has promoted insects as alternative protein sources which are also more sustainable as their cultivation emits less greenhouse gases than traditional animal livestock.

“Edible insects contain high quality protein, vitamins and amino acids for humans,” the FAO said, adding that insects require less feed than sheep or cattle to yield an equivalent amount of protein.

The SFA noted that other countries already allow insect consumption, including Australia, South Korea, Thailand and the European Union.

Never mind honey where we eat not even the insect itself... but we are happy to eat the stuff it makes inside it's body.
Yeah, basically avoid Tropicana, Jimmy Dean products, and Tyson shit if you can.

As tempting as it is to wolf down some tasty bugs, I think I'll stick with a steak.

They’re allowed up to a certain amount of insect parts and rodent feces in packaged food as well.

We've all been eating bugs for a long, long time.

I really don't have a problem with this. Insects will probably be a health food in the future.

Really? Can you elaborate? I have been buying the Jimmy Dean sausage for years to make biscuits and gravy.

Fun fact:

Quote:
Oregano has the highest allowance of bug parts of any food listed in the FDA guidelines:1,250 bug parts per 10 gram sample. So if you ate 2,000 pounds of oregano you could be getting as many as 50 pounds of bugs along with it!

I would have just assumed they already had a pretty substantial bug selection.

I’ll stick with my ocean bugs though. Those mix great with a little mayo and onion.
