Grasshoppers, crickets, mealworms among 16 insect species approved as food in Singapore

A list of 16 insects -- including crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms and superworms -- have been allowed for sale as food in Singapore, but these might only be found in supermarkets or restaurants after mid-July or even later. That's as permits and licences will still need to be submitted and approved by the Singapore Food Agency. Under an upcoming law, no live insects will be allowed for sale as food. The SFA added that firms selling processed insects must label the products properly. Rebecca Metteo reports.
