This report analyzes food and feed safety laws governing the use of insects as food and animal feed in Serbiaand Türkiye. Insects, as a sustainable protein source, face regulatory gaps in both countries, hindering theirintegration into food systems. Serbia's legislation lacks specific provisions for insect-based products, limitingindustry growth, while Türkiye's laws lack clarity on insect farming and processing. Both countries need todefine safety and quality guidelines and create comprehensive regulations to support the sector. Addressingthese challenges can unlock the potential of insect-based products, contributing to global food security andsustainability.
