Abstract: Edible insects have been recognized as a promising alternative food source because of their high nutritional value and sustainable production in line with the goals required by agri-food chains, lower emissions of greenhouse gases, and use of organic waste. This critical review provides the most recent updates on the use of edible insects as functional ingredients in food formulations, with an emphasis on meat and bakery products. The main motivations for reformulating these products, processing techniques, nutritional, sensory, and technological characteristics, and the main insect species used have been described. In addition, the relevant food-safety aspects of the reformulated products are discussed. Finally, the main challenges and perspectives for the safe, sustainable, and functional use of this ingredient are addressed.
