Insect-Based Ingredients in Processed Foods: The Need for Clear Labeling”

I have once again come to the realization that bugs have been surreptitiously incorporated into one of my all-time favorite chocolate biscuits. The prevalence of this alarming trend of adding insects into processed foods is extremely concerning, and it is imperative that food manufacturers disclose the use of these ingredients in a clear and easily identifiable manner.

In my recent discovery, I learned that Tim Tams, a beloved treat, contain cochineal bugs as a component of their dye. Despite the continued deliciousness of these biscuits, it is crucial for consumers to be informed about the presence of these bugs without having to search through every single ingredient listed on the packaging.
