COMMENTS CURRENT LEGISLATION Reg. 258/1997 “Novel food” refers to foods and food ingredients which have not been used for human consumption to a significant degree within the Community before 15 May 1997 AND “foods and food ingredients consisting of or isolated from plants and food ingredients isolated from animals …”. Whole insects are exempted from the regulation because the word “consisting” is missing as regards animals There are no EU rules regarding insects as food National rules are legitimate (Concurent legislation) Belgium, UK Whole insects are not exempted since the word “consisting” is missing only for hystorical reasons Insects are NOVEL FOOD Approval pathway needed EU, Italy IMPORT Import of insects fit for human consumption from outside the EU is prevented by the lack of rules and consequently the impossibility for third countries to follow the FVO approval pathway. Personal import (from countries outside the EU) limited quantities of edible insects, are allowed according to Reg, 206/2009 but rather they seem to be subject to veterinary checks. Thus, import feasibility varies among countries. Insects quantities below 2 kg/person can be imported according to Reg. 206/2009 Edible insects need to be checked by veterinarian. Absence of official requirements, impossibility to perform checking. DEFRA (UK) personal import rule database.
