Our friend Anders Engstrom of Bug Burger over there in Sweden has a neat chart and other stuff to help us all try and make sense out of what is legal and what is not in what countries in Europe.
From the Bug Burger article:
Here is a picture of the situation in Europe February 2018. The situation will probably remain throughout 2018. Early in 2019, we will see what insect species are approved for sale. Most likely later. As regards France’s status, there seems to be some uncertainty among companies.
2/24/18 UPDATE from Norway and Portugal: Thanks to Gary Bartlett, Specialist Product Developer and Retail Operations. Tobar Group Trading Ltd, who sent us this note:
“I’ve recently contacted both Portugal and Norway. Both say that as long as the insect products are imported from an EU member where they are currently legal (ie UK, Netherlands for eg) they would also be legal to be sold in their country.”
