The named species include black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), common housefly (Musca domestica), yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus), house cricket (Acheta domesticus), and silkworms (Bombyx mori) — the latter being added to the list of authorised insect species for the manufacturing of processed animal protein in the Union.\n\nPet-food relevance: this is the feed-side (processed animal protein) authorisation track for insects. Separate novel-food authorisations under Reg (EU) 2015/2283 cover the same and additional insect species for human food, which may also be used in pet food. Together they define which insect proteins are lawful pet-food/feed ingredients in the EU.\n\nSource: `pdf-raw/novel-protein/eu_impl_2025_1377_insects.html` (EUR-Lex Reg (EU) 2025/1377, first-hand).\n\n## Claims (verified C1 substrings of source_file)\n- `Hermetia illucens`\n- `Musca domestica`\n- `Tenebrio molitor`\n- `Acheta domesticus`\n- `Bombyx mori`\n- `authorised insect species for the manufacturing of processed animal protein in the Union`\n","sources":["EU Regulation — Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1377 — insect species for processed animal protein (retrieved 2026-08-09)"],"source":{"authority":"EU Regulation","title":"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1377 — insect species for processed animal protein","url":"","retrieved":"2026-08-09","ref":"Reg (EU) 2025/1377","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1377 on insect species for the manufacturing of processed animal protein","verification_file":"pdf-raw/novel-protein/eu_impl_2025_1377_insects.html"},"source_document":"Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1377 on insect species for the manufacturing of processed animal protein","source_file":"pdf-raw/novel-protein/eu_impl_2025_1377_insects.html","trust":{"authority_tier":"ungraded","fidelity":"verbatim","license":"public_domain","display_grade":"pending"},"tokens_estimated":220,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
