Benefits of the app

"Insects in food"

Insect Inspect - Where are insect ingredients added?

Unlike comparable apps, Insects in Food offers the highest hit rates. This app does not rely solely on the data stored in the Open Food Fact but uses additional sources. With Insects in Food, you can investigate whether the manufacturer of your favourite foods has added insect ingredients. The app recognises with the highest hit rate whether insect powder or insect paste is present in cereals, baked goods, chocolate, crisps, biscuits and much more. The app also detects food additives from insects that are permitted for use in the EU as a coating (e.g. coating for chocolate lentils) or as a colouring. Attention allergy sufferers and sensitive people: Consumer advice centres point out that insects can cause severe allergies and cross-reactions.
