Earlier this year the EU passed a law that allowed for house crickets and mealworm larvae to be considered safe for consumption, on top of the already approved locusts, darkling beetle larvae, and other types of cricket.
However nations like Italy are not on board and have banned the inclusion of insects in some of their flours, on top of a ban on lab-grown meats.
In response to inquiries by parliamentary members Charlie Weimers and Robert Roos, Stella Kyriakides, the EU’s Commissioner for Health and Food Safety, confirmed that there are zero intentions by the EU enforce any kind special labeling such as a certified “insect logo” on food package.
The Commission is not currently considering additional labelling requirements for foods containing insects, since the existing legal framework ensures that consumers are informed about the content of the food.
The commissioner explained, contending that such small ingredient lists will be sufficient to inform the typical consumer.
Weimers is challenging this, and in a statement to Breitbart Europe he explained that ‘lack of clear labelling will make it more likely that those within the bloc will remain uninformed about what they are actually consuming.’
The European Commission is disingenuous when it wants to treat the use of creepy-crawlies as just another food additive and as source of environmentally friendly protein in our food production.
Many people feel queasy about eating insects and bugs, and I sympathize with that. Not everything should be normalized. Food that contains arthropods should have a clear and visible marker on the front – not only the Latin name of the creep in the list of ingredients – so that consumers can make a conscious decision.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
You will eat ze bugs!
[1] Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. [4] For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: [5] For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 1 Timothy 4:1-5
So these goobers are making sure that the buggies will be in the food like it or not; unless nations start doing with Italy does, or require special labeling.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I dont know.
That’s messed up so they have no choice to say whether or not they can eat the food.They are being forced to eat this disgusting food.I guess that’s just another way to depopulate because their will be people that will be deathly allergic to their buggy ingredients and whatever else they want to put in there.They could put cyanide or anything in there for people to eat and not label it.
