Would proper labelling ameliorate this worry for you?

[-] ggppjj@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Proper labelling would seem to be a requirement anyways if they aggravate shellfish allergies, I think the concern is more "if this starts getting used in more foods my choices for food will shrink and I may no longer be able to eat the foods I like now".

It's definitely both. A lot of folks don't understand that insects and shellfish are similar, and I've yet to see "product may contain insect meal / aggravate shellfish allergies" on things that have crickets or are processed in facilities that handle insect meal. So, the FDA likely needs to catch up. But, it's also a cheap filler protein that's easily grown, and companies are cheap bastards, so it's going to slowly find its way in and push out more expensive protein options.
