Singapore approves 16 edible insect species for human consumption in a food security push.

Singapore approves 16 edible insect species for human consumption, including crickets, grasshoppers, grubs, and mealworms. The decision is part of a food security push, as the city imports nearly 90% of its food. The insects must be farmed in controlled environments and cannot be fed contaminants. This move follows the European Union's authorization of six insects for human consumption.
