The Italian government has issued a number of regulations in an effort to ban the use of insects and bugs in its cuisine.
At a news conference held in Rome, three government ministers announced four decrees meant to crack down on the use of insects and bugs, The Times reported.
“It’s fundamental that these flours are not confused with food made in Italy,” Francesco Lollobrigida, the agriculture minister, said.
“What the decrees provide for is a label with the origin of the product, the risks associated with consumption and the quantity of insect meal present, but we have also provided special shelves where they can be displayed inside the shops..those who want to choose crickets, larvae and locusts can go there and those who don’t want to, as I imagine most Italians, can keep away.”
Swedish journalist Peter Imanuelsen wrote on his Substack, “Italy had no problem with locking people inside and issuing vaccine mandates. But messing with their food is going a step to far and has awakened them to The Great Reset agenda. They are finally saying no!”
