Ua ʻae ka EU i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā larvae beetle waiwai nui i ka protein ma ke ʻano he meaʻai a meaʻai paha - ma ke ʻano he meaʻai ʻōmaʻomaʻo hou.
Hiki ke ʻike koke ʻia nā meaʻai maloʻo ma nā hale kūʻai a me nā hale ʻaina ma ʻEulopa.
Ua ʻae ka 27-ʻāina ʻEulopa i ka Pōʻalua i kahi noi e kūʻai aku i nā larvae mealworm ma ke ʻano he "meaʻai hou".
Hele mai ia ma hope o ka paʻi ʻana o ka ʻoihana palekana meaʻai o EU i nā ʻike ʻepekema ma mua o kēia makahiki ua palekana nā huahana e ʻai.
ʻO lākou nā pepeke mua i ʻae ʻia no ka ʻai kanaka e ka European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
Inā ʻai ʻia a ʻai ʻia paha i loko o ka pauka, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā ilo ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻohui i nā kīʻaha momona momona a i ʻole nā meaʻai ʻē aʻe, wahi a nā mea noiʻi.
ʻAʻole waiwai lākou i ka protein wale nō, akā i loko o ka momona a me ka fiber, a ʻo ia paha ka mea mua o nā inike he nui e hoʻonani i nā papa ʻaina ʻEulopa i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
ʻOiai ka liʻiliʻi loa o ka mākeke no nā iniseti ma ke ʻano he meaʻai, ʻōlelo nā luna o EU ʻo ka ulu ʻana i nā iniseti no ka meaʻai e lawe mai i nā pono kaiapuni.

Akā ʻoiai hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā meaʻai e hana i nā kuki, pasta a me nā curries, hiki i kā lākou "yuck factor" ke hoʻopau i nā mea kūʻai aku, wahi a nā mea noiʻi.
