The claim
2018年に内閣府食品安全委員会がコオロギ食の危険性を記載した
Original review summary
The review says the Commission’s 2018 webpage presented European Food Safety Authority information about risks associated with house crickets, rather than stating the Commission’s own view. It also says the material did not describe the danger of cricket consumption in Japan at the time of the review.[S1]
Additional context
The review reports that the Commission’s website later introduced EFSA’s 2021 view that there were no safety concerns if specification limits were met, and reported the European Commission’s February 2022 authorization of house crickets as a food ingredient in the EU. [S1]
