🪰 Researchers of Wageningen Food Safety Research have developed a method for detecting #microplastics in farmed #insects. This is important because insects can be reared on residual flows or food waste, which may contain plastic packaging materials. This is seen as a promising source of sustainable and circular proteins. ♻️ The new method and results are promising for broader application, but more research is needed to check whether other types of plastics show the same results. In March 2024, a public-private project was started under the name '𝙎𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙙'. This project will also include the transfer of chemical contaminants that may be present in packaging materials. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dYreyZ5K
