Los europarlamentarios favorables al uso de insectos en la alimentación de monogástricos
23/06/2021
Ayer se reunió la Comisión de Medio Ambiente del Parlamento Europeo y se mostró favorable a la autorización de las proteínas animales procesadas (PAP) de insectos en la alimentación de animales monogástricos ( aves de corral y cerdos). La Plataforma Internacional de Insectos para Alimentos y Piensos (IPIFF), asociación que agrupa al sector europeo de los insectos, ha acogido con satisfacción dicha posición, que desbloquearía dos de los mercados clave a los que se dirigen los insectos como productores de piensos.
This week sees two legislative developments linked to EU insect production: the adoption of harmonized standards for insect frass and the addition of silkworm to the list of authorized insect species for use as protein in aquaculture feed.

Eating insects as a replacement for meat should be no big deal for anyone. After all, research suggests the average individual already eats 140,000 insect pieces each year.
Of course most are trace contaminants in other foodstuffs. However, more than two billion people worldwide enjoy insects as part of their daily diet. Most commonly eaten in Africa, Asia and South America, it is of no surprise that the hunt for protein alternatives to meat has led to rising interest in the insect-eating world.
