EU Approves Insect-Infused Food: Mealworms in Bread and Pastries Now Permitted

Fair Foundation ^

[TigerClaws]

Brussels, Belgium – In a controversial move, the European Union has approved Regulation (EU) 2025/89, allowing the use of insects as ingredients in common food products such as bread, pastries, cheese, jam, and pasta. The regulation, signed into law by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, permits the use of UV-treated yellow mealworm powder in food production across the bloc.

Mealworms in Everyday Foods

The regulation allows companies to market powder derived from the larvae of the Tenebrio molitor, commonly known as the yellow mealworm. Under the new law, up to 4 grams of mealworms per 100 grams of bread and 3.5 grams per 100 grams of pastries are now legally permitted.

This measure is part of the EU’s broader push to introduce alternative protein sources and reduce reliance on traditional livestock. According to the European Commission, meat consumption needs to be curbed in order to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040.

Public Concerns Over Digestibility and Transparency

While the EU promotes insects as a sustainable protein source, critics point to serious health concerns. The exoskeletons of insects contain chitin, a substance that is difficult for humans to digest and may hinder the absorption of essential nutrients.

Furthermore, there are growing fears that consumers may not always be clearly informed when insects are included in their food. Without strict labeling regulations, mealworm powder could be disguised under vague ingredient terms, leaving buyers unaware of what they are consuming.

A Shift in the European Food Supply

The move comes amid increasing efforts by the European Commission to phase out traditional agriculture in favor of lab-grown meat, synthetic proteins, and insect-based alternatives. The EU’s Novel Foods Team Leader, Rafael Perez Berbejal, has stated that insects could play a key role in diversifying the European diet and reducing dependence on conventional livestock farming.

However, opposition to the measure is growing, with critics arguing that food choices should be left to the public rather than dictated by top-down regulatory policies.

Consumer Backlash and Next Steps

The approval of mealworm powder in food has already sparked a strong response from consumers, with many questioning why such drastic changes are being implemented without public consultation.

Concerned citizens are now being urged to carefully check ingredient lists for terms like “mealworm powder,” “Tenebrio molitor,” or vague references to alternative protein sources. Some groups are also calling for stricter labeling laws to ensure transparency in food products.

What Lies Ahead?

As the EU continues its push toward insect-based food, questions remain: Will consumers accept this shift, or will there be widespread resistance? And how far will regulators go in reshaping diets across Europe?

For now, one thing is clear—mealworms are no longer just for birds and reptiles. They’re now in your bread, too.

STUPID!!

Now: You can eat bugs.
Eventually: You must eat bugs.

Of course the EU elite will continue to eat only the finest steak. No bugs for them.

I’m surprised this is Halal.

F the EU!

Well it's not like the World Economic Forum's symbol JUST HAPPENS TO MAKE 666 (funky, though) - oh wait, it DOES.

And the ONLY place that the lines of the Earth intersect the letters IS TO MAKE 666. /shiny side out

1) Controlling the citizens' Money Supply
2) Controlling the citizens' Food Supply



THESE will be the primary tools of Satan's New World Order
prophesied in Daniel 7:23 (Fourth Beast ===>>> World Government)

The World Economic Forum wants to reimagine, reinvent and transform the Global Food System, to eliminate greenhouse gases from food production. Central to its plan is alternatives to animal protein: meal worm potato chips, bug burgers instead of beef patties, and meat loaves and sausages made from lake flies, for instance.

All food will say, “May contain mealworms or other insects.” The powder will be in the food processing equipment. I suppose that you will be able to pay more for flour that does not contain it and then make your own bread.

Is it Halal? It isn’t Kosher.

[NFHale]

You’ll own nothing, you’ll eat bugs, and you’ll be happy…

Hope I live to see the day when these Euro “elites” meet their Mussolini “just hanging around” minute…

Better yet, their Ceacescu “Dance Upon The FMJ Spray” minute.

Not sure Europeans have the stomach for that, though. They won’t even protect their own women from the animals that these same “elites” have turned loose on them.

Way past time for a reckoning over there.

Ours has just begun.

[yldstrk]

Start buying kosher. Kosher does not allow insects in food.

If they’re gonna try and muddy the fields with terms that people don’t know mean “YOU’RE EATING A BUG”, then yeah, next is “you must”.

And they WILL muddy the terms so people don’t know that”orgidaoiged soidgys” means BUG.:)

WT# HAPPENED TO WESTERN EUROPE!?!?

The EU...Eastern Europe..get out of it now.

Italy and a few other countries with some common sense still..get out now!

I don’t even want us to be in NATO with these clowns.

Their VALUES ARE NOT OURS ANYMORE.

Shouldn’t have a massive military organization with them.

Speaking of The European Union...

The European Union already has a Latter Days Tower of Babel (Genesis chapter 11) - it didn't happen by accident ... but rather on purpose

If Harris hod won, insect-based food in the US would have become mandatory at some point. It’s not hyperbole to state this.

[Leaning Right]

> If Harris had won, insect-based food in the US would have become mandatory at some point. <

Absolutely. All that would be needed would be a fake study showing that eating bugs fights Climate Change.

NBC News: “As this graph clearly shows, the more bugs you eat, the less Climate Change there is.”

In areas that the EU controls the safest course is to completely avoid bread & pastriesbthat you don’t bake yourself.
