Abstract

Abstract The potential risks associated with consuming insects make consumers hesitant about their viability as a food source. Therefore, it is imperative to research and develop a comprehensive legal framework for consumer protection regarding the use of insects as food. This article focuses on analyzing three key issues: (i) theoretical aspects related to insects as food; (ii) food management experiences under Swiss and Belgian laws; and (iii) current legislation on insects as food in Vietnam, along with some recommendations.
