However, this collaboration is primarily to produce food made from insects for animals, not for human consumption.

And their website never mentions anything about selling insects or insect-containing products for human consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Guidelines<\/strong>: The FAO acknowledges the potential use of insects as a sustainable protein source, especially for animal feed. While insects can supplement traditional animal feed sources, the FAO does not endorse their widespread inclusion in human food products without proper regulatory oversight and safety assessments. Details can be read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/edible-insects\/en\/\">here<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Alexandra Kazaks, Ph.D., RDN, a member of the Institute of Food Technologists Nutrition Division, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodprocessing.com\/podcasts\/podcast\/33014175\/insects-in-foods-nutritional-benefits-might-soon-make-science-fiction-a-reality-in-the-us?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0swdeJWJd0xb3NrAau5JcgEdvaX_qyFtbLvo5nMuFWT9jGI9zPth6tRJc_aem_AQAm5njDMd2xPnENzH7PS7AvIemtvUN1yjrixfyrk4esfBcOPTrJvOCJCUjEyMRXuepEKP1YDA-alYz7LypquZHD\">also states in this podcast<\/a> that the nutritional benefits of insects in food might soon make science fiction a reality in the U.S. Another podcast on the same topics exploring the nutritional value of insect-based products is discussed in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BTTFhaU05EY?t=458\">this podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us and stay up to date with our latest fact checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/factcrescendosl\/\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/factcrescendosl\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/factcrescendo_sl\/\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMODMpgswyNe-Aw\"><strong>Google News<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@factcrescendosl\"><strong>TikTok<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Tyson Foods&#8217; partnership with Protix involves producing insect-based food products, these are intended for animal consumption and not for humans. Contrary to social media claims, there is no indication that Tyson Foods and Protix are collaborating to introduce insects into processed foods meant for human consumption. However, it&#8217;s worth noting that edible insects can be a sustainable protein source for humans when adequately prepared and regulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Misleading.png\n\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>Tyson Foods teamed up with Protix To create Insect Protein for Animals, not for human consumption!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Fact Check By:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fact Crescendo Team<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> Misleading<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20send%20your%20query:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"http:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Whats-app-sri-lanka-new.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Social media users often engage in discussions on topics related to a wide array of food items, flavors, and ingredients, contributing to a vibrant online food culture.
