Dutch people want more insect-based food products

Dutch people are big supporters of the development of food products based on insect proteins. 53% of the respondents even think that the government should include insect-based food products in their health and nutrition advice. Moreover, 80% of Dutch respondents think that food producers should include more insect proteins in their products. However, 51% of the respondents state as a condition that this should be clearly mentioned on the packaging.

Insects will undoubtedly play a major role in the food of the future.

The poll was conducted in April 2022 (from 1 to 7 April) by OnePoll among a representative group of 2017 Dutch adults.
