[A report commissioned by the European Food Safety Authority](http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-34476742) has found that whether insects are safe to eat will depend on how they are cultivated and processed. The initial risk assessment report looked into whether insects could be considered a safe source of protein for both humans and animals. It examined “potential biological and environmental hazards, as well as allergenicity and environmental chemical hazards, associated with farmed insects used in food and feed taking into account the entire chain, from farming to the final product”. The methods used to raise the insects, as well as those used to process them, would play a big part in whether they were deemed food safe, according to the report. “The specific production methods, the substrate used, the stage of harvest, the insect species, as well as the methods used for further processing will all have an impact on the possible presence of biological and chemical contaminants in insect food and feed products,” stated the report.
