“…The regulatory system on the use of insects as feed differs widely between countries worldwide [26,27,28,29,30,31] and is not always related to the “traditional” use of insects as food. The following section presents a concise review of the main elements of the existing legislation on the use of insects as feed in the European Union, North America (the United States of America and Canada), and some Asian countries (China, North Korea, and South Korea).…”

“…The European approach to insects as feed is greatly affected by the issue of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), which poses a serious threat to consumer health and safety [28,32]. In 2001, the use of processed animal proteins (PAPs) was banned owing to transmissible BSE regulation [33].…”

“…In a qualitative study, Marberg et al [28], conducted 19 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with experts and stakeholders, including breeders, industry experts, researchers, government officials, and livestock farmers, in the emerging sector. Their results highlighted many actions that could improve the “insects as feed” sector and its acceptance among consumers: (a) spreading knowledge regarding the subject (e.g., communicating potential benefits through the involvement of stakeholders in order to improve consumer trust [75,76]) and how potential risks are mitigated [77,78]; (b) prioritizing transparency to avoid the “social amplification problem” [75]; and (c) demonstrating a sense of urgency to overcome consumers’ limited support for new food technologies when urgency is not felt [76].…”

Recently, insects have received increased attention as an important source of sustainable raw materials for animal feed, especially in fish, poultry, and swine. In particular, the most promising species are represented by the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens, HI), the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor, TM), and the common house fly (Musca domestica, MD). Although rapid development is expected, insects remain underutilized in the animal feed industry mainly due to technical, financial, and regulatory barriers. In addition, few works have analyzed consumer and stakeholder points of view towards the use of insects as animal feed. In this article, we summarize the main findings of this body of research and provide a discussion of consumer studies regarding the consumption of animals fed with insects. Our review suggests that consumer acceptance will not be a barrier towards the development of this novel protein industry. Furthermore, we conclude that it will be of interest to understand whether the use of this more sustainable feed source might increase consumer willingness to pay for animal products fed with insects and whether the overall acceptability, from a sensory point of view, will be perceived better than conventional products. Finally, the main challenges of the feed farming industry are addressed.

“…Insect meal had a maximum inclusion of 30% (Bovera et al, 2016); although beneficial to the immune system, chitin can limit digestibility beyond this inclusion level. It should be kept in mind that insect meal would not be allowed to be incorporated into poultry diets under current EU law, however the regulation has recently been relaxed so that insects can be utilised in aquaculture systems (European Commission, 2017; Józefiak and Engberg, 2015) and its incorporation into other livestock feeds continues to be championed in scientific literature (Marberg et al, 2017).…”

“…Macro-level legitimacy reflects the collective legitimacy judgment, a "judgement about what the validated 'consensus' is" (Bitekine and Haack, 2015: 51). For example, research institutes, government entities, and other industry bodies may approve the utilization of a new product (Marberg et al, 2017), in turn providing regulative and cognitive legitimacy. Regulative legitimacy rests on the novel product's conformity with the rules and regulations that can control individuals' behaviors with legal punishments or rewards (Johnson et al, 2006;Scott, 1995).…”

Initiating actor engagement with novel products

While organizations continue to face extensive pressure to introduce novel products to the market, the question of how customers initiate engagement with novel products remains unanswered. This article draws on the ecosystem perspective of engagement, utilizing the lens of actor engagement, to develop a conceptual framework for actor engagement with novel products. It elaborates our understanding of the indirect interaction that actors have with a focal object through other actors. It demonstrates that through vicarious learning, actors establish cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and social interactions with the novel product. Further, it explicates a process in which legitimacy judgments, at the micro- and macrolevels, play a central role in facilitating and evaluating engagement with products. This framework offers an important contribution to theory by elucidating the facilitating role of learning and introducing the concept of legitimacy to the engagement literature. A set of propositions is presented, and a future research agenda proposed for each of these propositions.
