Abstract
In the European Union, insects and products thereof fall under Regulation (EU) 2283/2015 on Novel Foods, as they were not consumed to a significant degree within the EU before 15 May 1997. This chapter elucidates the risk assessment process performed by EFSA, highlighting the various elements considered when assessing the safety of insect-derived foodstuffs. The information discussed stems from EFSA outputs on the safety evaluation of such products, which have confirmed the safety of their consumption under the proposed conditions of use.
