From the article:

“...
The insect food will also be labeled with warnings about risks associated with eating it.
...”

What risks do they list?

Doesn’t say in the article, maybe a link there? I’ve read on the thread that insects have a substance called chitin which humans cannot digest and can cause cancer. Insect eaters like skunks etc naturally have organiisms in their GI track that make it so they can digest chitin.
