Abstract :
[en] Insects appear to be an interesting alternative source for food proteins. pending a clear European legislation, 10 insect species are currently tolerated on the Belgian market by the Belgian Food Safety Agency. Edible insects are quite nutritious, but like vertebrates, they may contain pathogenes and toxic substances which can be hazardous to our health when consumed. The potential risks may, however, be largely controlled by the correct application of good hygiene and manufacturing practices during the breeding and marketing of these insects. Additionally, it is important to respect the appropriate storage and preparation conditions to heat the insects before consumption. Moreover, a possible allergic reaction of persons who are allergic to shellfishand/or dust mites cannot be excluded.
