Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...
