Several supermarkets in Belgium are reported to start selling insect-based snacks in October 2014. These snacks will include insect burgers, nuggets and schnitzels. The protein will be harvested from larvae from the black fungus beetle, a very sustainable source.
Belgian food authorities were happy to add these insects to the official list of allowed and regulated food sources, back in December. The same is expected to happen soon in the Netherlands.
The bug burgers to be sold in Belgium are expected to look like ‘regular’ meat products.
