Schweiziska Coop börjar sälja larvköttbullar
Livsmedelskedjan Coop i Schweiz börjar sälja köttbullar och hamburgare gjorda på mjölmask, skriver Bloomberg.
Utöver larverna innehåller köttsubstituten också ris, morötter och kryddor som chili och oregano.
Priset för ett tiopack larvköttbullar är 8,95 schweizerfranc, motsvarande 75 kronor. Hamburgarna säljs till samma pris.
– Produkterna är väl lämpade för alla som vill lära sig om insekters kulinariska mångfalld, säger inköpschefen Silvio Baselgia i ett pressmeddelande.

Mealworms are the larval form of the mealworm beetle, Tenebrio molitor, a species of darkling beetle. Like all holometabolic insects, they go through four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Larvae typically measure about 2.5 cm or more, whereas adults are generally between 1.25 and 1.8 cm in length.

According to Bio Suisse, the Swiss organic producers' association, Coop accounts for half of all the organic food sold in Switzerland. In June 2011, independent German rating agency oekom research AG awarded Coop with the title of "World's Most Sustainable Retailer". Coop has three primary brands with a sustainability selling proposition: Coop Oecoplan (various daily life products), Coop Naturaline (textile products) and Coop Naturaplan (food). The company also sells products bearing the Max Havelaar Fairtrade label.
Coop also has a low-cost product line, "Prix garantie". Coop owns the Swiss chocolate company Halba.
