Almost everyone who keeps pets that are not cats or dogs are familiar with the mealworms. They are great snacks for more exotic pets. However, they may no longer just be pet foods as the EU just labeled them safe for human consumption.

Mealworms as food
European Union (EU) food safety agency declared yellow mealworm safe for human consumption. Because of the declaration, exotic food producers can now mass-produce foods and snacks made from the worms all across Europe.
The EU food safety agency came to a conclusion after following-up on an application from the French company Agronutris.
