77% Informative
Ministers may lift ban on use of animal remains in feed for farmed chickens and pigs.
Ban was introduced during the BSE crisis 30 years ago after the emergence of mad cow disease.
Ban expanded in 2001 to include the use of all PAP in the feed of animals farmed for food.
Scottish government said lifting the ban would “level the playing field with the EU ”.
Insect Institute says insects inefficiently add a trophic level to the food system.
Defra says it has strict rules in place on what can be fed to livestock to protect against diseases.
Insect Institute director says insects are largely reared on materials suitable for direct consumption by humans.
