This protein is actually cricket flour. It is now included in many of our foods. I think it is disgusting and needs to be banned.

There is always freedom of choice. However, I do agree that this should be required on the label in transparent and obvious ways including on the front of the package. Definitely agree that it is disgusting and I want to know if the product is using cricket flour etc.
“US FDA Regulation: The US FDA has approved cochineal extract and carmine as food additives, but does not require labeling to indicate that they come from insects. The FDA considers these ingredients to be “adequately labeled” if they are listed by their chemical or common name, without specifying their insect origin.”

I mean can’t you just not buy it? Some people prefer getting protein from bugs than plants because it is complete
If it is on the label. The US doesn’t require that the bug is named. They can use chemical names for products taken from the bugs.
