Milestone in Portugal: Insect larvae powder (Tenebrio molitor) gets the green light for food user!

As reported by Público, the authorisation covers larvae treated (with UV radiation and has been granted exclusively to the company Nutri’Earth until 2030). The powder may be used in foods such as bread, biscuits, cheese and more!

At Social Bugs, this reinforces the importance of our mission: educating, training, and empowering vulnerable communities in insect farming as a pathway to sustainable livelihoods.
With national policies aligning with European innovation, we’re one step closer to reshaping the food system for both people and the planet.
