In the EU, insect farming is regulated by strict rules regarding feed, permitted raw materials, and veterinary control. This results in greater stability of the final product composition and reduces the risk of contamination, such as pesticide residues or heavy metals. In addition, long transport from third countries may increase the risk of quality deterioration (e.g., moisture exposure or fat rancidity). For this reason, “EU-made” origin is an important quality argument.
