Insect-based products on the store shelves in Switzerland

Switzerland’s second-largest supermarket chain will begin selling insect burgers for human consumption after the country’s food safety laws were revised – the Guardian wrote.

The Coop announced insect-based products such as the flour burgers and balls of protein-rich mealworm that would go on sale next week.

The products, made by a Swiss start-up called Essento, will be available in a handful of Coop branches, including in Geneva, Bern and Zurich, from 21 August, according to a statement. (MTI)
