Cricket protein is going to be in place (unlabeled) by 2027. Cricket “flour” is going to be used in products such as Cheetos and Quaker granola, Cricket protein may be incorporated into butter and oils, etc. It contains parasites that affect humans, and contain the following: high levels of arsenic, as well as mercury, cadmium, chromium, etc. Companies in the next year estimate 1.4 billion tons of Cricket protein will be available for use in our food supply. And we won’t know that it’s there. It won’t be on the ingredients label of foods.

I’d be interested to see more info on this. Cricket protein actually seems like a great, cheap, accessible way to incorporate more protein in our diet. I would think that there would be a step in the manufacturing process to take care of anything harmful.

Like there was for Red Dye (a clear carcinogen) or allowing soda purchased through Food Stamps? I can’t decide if you’re charmingly naive or feloniously gullible. There are no (count them: 0) long-term studies on what repeated consumption of insect protein, particularly cricket protein which carries several harmful parasites, will do to human beings. Feel free to be the food industry’s guinea pig, but my family is not available for experimentation, thank you very much.
