New regulation in Hungarian shops to be implemented on Friday

The Hungarian government has decided on insect protein foods. The regulation will enter into force in two days, on Friday, 24 March.

The decree of the Minister of Agriculture has been published in the Hungarian Gazette. The regulation amends the rules on food labelling, 24.hu reports. The European Commission recently decided that after the mealworm, the house cricket can also be placed on the market as a food ingredient.

István Nagy had already announced the decision earlier, saying that new foods should be labelled with a warning if they contain insects or their larvae.

Accordingly, the new Regulation will require that non-prepacked food must also contain a label clearly indicating if it contains an insect or its larvae authorised as a novel food. The new requirement will also apply to pre-packaged foods that can be ordered online or sold in shops.

The name of the food containing insect protein will have to be accompanied by the words “Warning! Food contains insect protein” (Figyelem! Az élelmiszer rovarfehérjét tartalmaz!) in a font size at least equal to that used for the name of the product.

Foods containing insect protein must be displayed separately to consumers when placed on the market. The decree will enter into force in two days.

  2. We continue to sit back PASSIVE just letting them get away with ABSOLUTE widening of the Them and us, with millions of Hungarians, barely financially surviving – Diabolical – Repulsive.
    Marie-Antoinette circa 1789 – termed the “infamous” expression in France, in answer to the citizens of France having no bread to eat – ” Let them eat cake.”
    This comment by Marie-Antoinette – was never forgotten nor she forgiven resulting in 1793 – her head being removed severed from her body – aged 37 years.
    Victor Orban and his MOB – maybe we will hear – “Feed them the Bugs.”
    The POWER we have GIVEN Orban – he a LOVER of POWER – never AFFRAID to use Display his POWER over the citizens of Hungary – Vile.
    Our on-going PASSIVENESS to Orban and his MOB just APPALLS me.
