The chemical and microbial safety of insect-based feed and food
摘要
All human and animal food and feed must meet minimum safety standards, both to avoid the direct risks of chemical and microbial hazards to health as well as indirect effects in reducing the overall quality of food. The development of ‘novel’ food/feed sources (such as insects) has led to intensive recent research to identify, prevent and manage potential hazards relating to chemicals, pathogens and allergens.
