Which of the following is the first insect approved by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) as a human food?

Answer & Explanation

Option: Mealworms

Explanation:

Mealworms may soon find their way into Europe's pasta bowls and dinner dishes, after becoming the first insect approved in the region as a human food. Mealworms are the larval form of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, a species of darkling beetle. Despite their name, mealworms are beetle larvae rather than worms.
