Allergen Reduction
Meat allergies can significantly impact individuals’ diets and nutritional intake. They may need to avoid a substantial and common source of protein. Coping with meat allergies often involves careful food selection, label reading, and potential dietary modifications to ensure adequate protein consumption and prevent allergic reactions. Insects potentially present an alternative for individuals with meat allergies by providing a novel source of protein that may be better tolerated. Exploring insect consumption offers a promising avenue for those seeking protein-rich options while circumventing the allergenic concerns associated with traditional meat sources, potentially expanding dietary choices for individuals with specific dietary restrictions.
