Article Synopsis
- A microbiological study of 41 insect product samples available in Japan revealed that raw frozen insects had a significantly higher total aerobic count (5.61 log cfu/g) compared to powdered insects (2.89 log cfu/g).
- The coliform count was also notably higher in raw frozen insects, with a range of <1 to 6.90 log cfu/g, indicating potential hygiene concerns.
- While several food poisoning bacteria were identified in the samples, including certain species associated with hygiene issues, no pathogenic organisms like STEC or Salmonella were detected in this study.
