Grubs?

Fly calves?

SFMHPP? (Soldier Fly Maggot High Protein Powder)

I suspect some variation of the latter is how this will get into the food chain. Identifiable insects get in the news, but it'll probably be as an additive where it sees most use. After all what percentage of chicken is sold as actual whole pieces of chicken rather than reformed, breaded, sauced, otherwise processed meat?

I think you're misunderstanding what we're trying to do here. We're trying to get away from the insectiness, not charge towards it.... Otherwise it would obviously be beeftle.... Until the horse fly meat scandal.

“Bug Bites” is the name of the fish food in my local pet store. Comes in goldfish formula and algae eater formula. The package says it is grown by Enterra Feed in Canada using unconsumed fruit and vegetable that would go to waste.
