The EU says yes: Insect powder approved for food use across Europe!
As the Modern Diplomacy article notes, the European Union has given a green light to insect Tenebrio molitor larvae powder in food – This approval, effective from 10 February 2025, marks a significant step in mainstreaming alternative protein sources.
At Social Bugs, we welcome this development. We have long seen insects not only as a sustainable source of nutrition but also as a means of social empowerment, especially for those at the margins of the job market. With EU regulation now fully aligned, the scope for training, local entrepreneurship and social impact are greater than ever.
Together, we’re transforming food systems from the ground up.
