    Luxembourg's food safety authority said it would not relax legal restrictions on new foods and banned the sale of edible insects without the approval of a special committee.new food regulations have rules for insects eaten by Europeans. The new food regulations require a
    risk assessment before commercial sales of food that humans were accustomed to eating before 1997
    .
    a
    to
    2011
    survey showed that Europeans are not accustomed to eating insects, so insects must be approved under new food laws for commercial sale., belgium and the Netherlands have looser regulations, and national laws and regulations allow the sale of new foods, including insects.Luxembourg's Food Safety Serviceissued a statement in late December 2012 saying:Luxembourg will not relax regulations at this stage and will not allow the sale of insect food for human consumption without the authorization of the European Commission.
    ”Further verification of the safety of insect foods, especially insect proteins, may cause allergic reactions.same time, the European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority
